Fixing a font size

2006-07-31 Thread Rick Hansen (aka RickH)
Is it possible to set a fixed font size for \markup that will NOT scale when I change the value of set-global-staff-size? For example the following still changes the title font size relative to set-global-staff-size: \header { title = \markup { \override #'(font-size . 12) "My Song Title Foo

Hi Mats, OK, change that into \new VaticanaStaff << \new VaticanaVoice{ ... } \new VaticanaVoice{ ... } >> that _may be a better idea, but processing the following with 2.9.13 gives a segmentation fault... \include "gregorian-init.ly" #(set-global-staff-size 36) \score { \new VaticanaStaf

If you experiment a bit, you will notice that the time signature change has nothing to do with it. Rather, it's the preceding chord tremolo that triggers the bug, as the following simplified example illustrates: \version "2.8.4.1" \relative c' { \repeat "tremolo" 16 { a32 c } \acciaccatura { c16[

The default layout is more or less ad-hoc, since there is no single layout that everybody can agree on or that can handle all different situtions. A pragmatic solution is to use some other header field that's positioned where you want the opus number to appear, for example you could try \heade
