Markup in left and right margins

Hello everyone, Would anyone know if there is a way to add mark-up in the left and right margins of the page. There are footnotes and headers for the bottom and top of the page, respectively. For example, I might want to add notes in the margins, rather than in the music. Many thanks, mattfong

Thank you, Aaron! This definitely works-around the bug. Looking forward to a fix in future LilyPond versions. On Tue, Oct 13, 2020 at 2:11 AM Werner LEMBERG wrote: > > >> I was engraving a piece of chant in modern notation recently, and > >> discovered that none of the custodes will draw a ledge

Hi everyone, I posted this to bug-lilyp...@gnu.org. I tried the code snippet at lilybin.com, and both versions there produce the same result as the latest stable version 2.20. Many thanks, mattfong On Sat, Oct 10, 2020 at 9:50 AM Matthew Fong wrote: > Hello fellow LilyPonders, > &

Gregorian chant/Mensural notation: No ledger for custodes beyond 5-line staff

Hello fellow LilyPonders, I was engraving a piece of chant in modern notation recently, and discovered that none of the custodes will draw a ledger for middle C (C4) or A5, notes beyond the 5-line staff. These notes do occur in chant and polyphony. Is there a workaround for this? Or have I missed

Hello Aaron, Thanks for pointing out the many ways LilyPond can accomplish something. Going to play around with those options! Many thanks, mattfong On Wed, Oct 7, 2020 at 6:11 PM Aaron Hill wrote: > On 2020-10-07 11:03 am, Matthew Fong wrote: > > I suppose I could also use mark

Holy smokes. This is a thing of beauty. Thank you Aaron! Not everything notation can be automated away, and I'm fine with the flexibility this offers. Many thanks, mattfong On Mon, Oct 5, 2020 at 11:32 AM Aaron Hill wrote: > On 2020-10-05 10:35 am, Matthew Fong wrote: > &g
