Re: Use TTF font for text in working directory?

Here's some documentation from the current development version; the two mentioned scheme functions, however, are present in 2.20, too. Finding fonts - In addition to any font already installed on the operating system, more fonts may be added to the ones detected by FontConfig (and thus available in LilyPond scores) by the following commands: #(ly:font-config-add-font "path/to/font-file") #(ly:font-config-add-directory "path/to/directory/") Both commands accept either absolute or relative paths, which makes it possible to compile a score on any system by simply distributing the relevant font files together with the LilyPond input files. For your case it should be thus sufficient to add #(ly:font-config-add-directory ".") at the top of your main `.ly` file (assuming that you call the `lilypond` binary while being in this directory).

Re: horizontal position of augmentation dots
When you read the documentation for an interface, check the bottom of the
page for "This object supports the following interface(s):". In this case
it's the grob-interface that has the extra-offset property.

Ah, yes, thank you. It's a sort of multiple inheritance thing I
guess...

Re: Help a newb: Formatting custom instrument names
Greetings Michael,
I believe that, in your \with block, you should add the following lines:
fontSize = #-3
\override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -3)

Re: Use TTF font for text in working directory?
Hi Werner, thank you for quick and precise answer. It worked just as you said. I used this to build a small project to create a beginner ocarina songbook, where under each note the fingering for the ocarina is printed. The project is on Git: https://github.com/StHante/ocarinaBook Just in case anyone is looking for something similar.

Re: Help a newb: Formatting custom instrument names
Hi Michael,
So far I’ve only been able to assign the column of text to the
instrument name, but it’s WAY to big and spaced out. I tried to find
the commands to tweak the instrument name in the reference manuals,
but I just couldn’t figure it out. I need to tweak the size of the
font, the vertical scale (assuming the characters are evenly spaced
vertically) and the position. Can anyone help out a hapless newbie?
Maybe something like this?
\version "2.21.80"
\layout {
indent = 5
}
#(define-markup-command (unit-height layout props arg) (markup?)
(let* ((stil (interpret-markup layout props arg))
(x (ly:stencil-extent stil 0)))
(interpret-markup layout props
(make-with-dimensions-markup x '(-0.5 . 0.5)
(markup #:general-align 1 0 arg)
#(define-markup-command (unit-height-column layout props args)
(markup-list?)
(interpret-markup layout props #{
\markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 0)
\center-column \unit-height #args
} #}))
\new Staff \with {
\override StaffSymbol.line-count = 12
instrumentName = \markup {
\override #'(font-size . -10)
\unit-height-column { First second third fourth fifth sixth seventh
eighth ninth tenth eleventh } } }
{ a'4 }
The command \unit-height forces a markup to have Y dimension exactly
-0.5 to 0.5 (hence, one staff space), no matter its actual size.
\unit-height-column the given elements in a (horizontally centered)
column, stacked without padding between the lines.

Re: Help a newb: Formatting custom instrument names
Hi Michael,
Maybe something like this?
\version "2.21.80"
\layout {
indent = 5
}
#(define-markup-command (unit-height layout props arg) (markup?)
(let* ((stil (interpret-markup layout props arg))
(x (ly:stencil-extent stil 0)))
(interpret-markup layout props
(make-with-dimensions-markup x '(-0.5 . 0.5)
(markup #:general-align 1 0 arg)
Of course that's insane, because the same markup is interpreted twice,
and because 0.5 isn't an exact number. Hopefully better version:
\version "2.21.80"
\layout {
indent = 5
}
#(define-markup-command (force-unit-height layout props arg) (markup?)
(let* ((y-centered-arg (markup #:general-align 1 0 arg))
(stil (interpret-markup layout props y-centered-arg))
(x (ly:stencil-extent stil 0))
(y (cons -1/2 1/2)))
(ly:stencil-outline stil (make-filled-box-stencil x y
#(define-markup-command (unit-height-column layout props args)
(markup-list?)
(interpret-markup layout props #{
\markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 0)
\center-column \force-unit-height #args
} #} ))
\new Staff \with {
\override StaffSymbol.line-count = 12
instrumentName = \markup {
\override #'(font-size . -10)
\unit-height-column { First second third fourth fifth sixth seventh
eighth ninth tenth eleventh }
}
}
{ a'4 }
Lukas
Re: Help a newb: Formatting custom instrument names
I’m not sure if this is an interesting suggestion, but if you want this as the
actual clef you could write
%%
\once \override Staff.Clef.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override Staff.Clef.text = \markup {
\override #'(font-size . -6.5)
\unit-height-column { First second third fourth fifth sixth seventh eighth
ninth tenth eleventh } }
\once \override Staff.Clef.Y-offset = #5
\clef treble % or whatever
%%
