Hi Ole, > Is it possible to use a variable inside a markup
Yes. With two modifications to your code: 1. The definition of def must be a markup (insert \markup before the \center-column) 2. You have to call a variable with a backslash (\def). The definitions of a variable is: var = … The usage of a variable is: \var def = \markup \center-column { \combine \draw-line #'(0 . 6) \arrow-head #Y #DOWN ##f } { c1^\markup {\def} } Cheers, Joram _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
