What about the following? #(define-public (pt-to-ss size) "Convert from points to staff space units." ;; The value `output-scale' gives the size (in mm) of the staff ;; space at the global staff size. By definition, the staff space ;; for a staff size of 20pt is 20pt / 4 = 5pt. (let* ((5pt (ly:pt 5)) (output-scale (ly:output-def-lookup $defaultpaper 'output-scale 1)) (factor (/ output-scale 5pt)) (staff-space (* 5 factor))) (/ size staff-space))) #(define-markup-command (abs-baseline-skip layout props size arg) (number? markup?) #:category font "Use @var{size} as the absolute value for @code{baseline-skip} (in points)." (interpret-markup layout (cons `((baseline-skip . ,(pt-to-ss size))) props) arg)) \paper { line-width = 170.0\mm top-margin = 15.0\mm bottom-margin = 15.0\mm indent = 20.0\mm top-markup-spacing = #`((basic-distance . ,(pt-to-ss 30)) (minimum-distance . ,(pt-to-ss 30)) (padding . 0) (stretchability . 0)) markup-markup-spacing = #'((basic-distance . ,(pt-to-ss 15)) (minimum-distance . ,(pt-to-ss 15)) (padding . 0) (stretchability . 0)) ... bookTitleMarkup = \markup { \abs-baseline-skip #20 { \column { \fill-line { \abs-fontsize #18 \bold \fromproperty #'header:title } \fill-line { \abs-fontsize #11 \bold \fromproperty #'header:subtitle } \fill-line { \abs-fontsize #9 \bold \fromproperty #'header:subsubtitle } ... } } } } Werner _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
