Looks good to me. I honestly tried to use a footnote a couple months ago, but gave up trying to figure it out. Now I think the docs are pretty clear.
http://codereview.appspot.com/6137050/diff/8003/Documentation/notation/input.itely File Documentation/notation/input.itely (right): http://codereview.appspot.com/6137050/diff/8003/Documentation/notation/input.itely#newcode1044 Documentation/notation/input.itely:1044: Automatic footnotes take three arguments; the @var{Layout Object} to be maybe "Automatically-numbered footnotes" http://codereview.appspot.com/6137050/diff/8003/Documentation/notation/input.itely#newcode1076 Documentation/notation/input.itely:1076: higher up in the list.} Do you mean that footnotes on the same chord are numbered and listed in order the vertical positions of their indicators, G Eb C ? If that is it, you might want it in normal text rather than a warning. (I had to look up 'descendancy', so my problem might have just been my English comprehension.) http://codereview.appspot.com/6137050/diff/8003/Documentation/notation/input.itely#newcode1128 Documentation/notation/input.itely:1128: Manual footnotes takes four arguments; the @var{Layout Object} to be maybe "Footnotes with manually-chosen indicators take" and in any case, "take" http://codereview.appspot.com/6137050/diff/8003/Documentation/notation/input.itely#newcode1159 Documentation/notation/input.itely:1159: higher up in the list.} From experiment, it seems that, a set of footnotes on one chord are listed at the bottom of the page according to the vertical order of their indicators. -- which is quite nice. http://codereview.appspot.com/6137050/diff/8003/Documentation/notation/input.itely#newcode1181 Documentation/notation/input.itely:1181: Works for me to put here, \breathe http://codereview.appspot.com/6137050/diff/8003/Documentation/notation/input.itely#newcode1185 Documentation/notation/input.itely:1185: \markup { \bold 4. { This is a stem } } and then here \footnote \markup { \teeny \musicglyph #"rests.4" } #'(-0.5 . 0.5) #'BreathingSign \markup { \null } In rhythms were you usually see a breath mark, it is printed just before the next note. Breathing just after two eight notes is a little odd, but it would take some re-arranging of the example to make it realistic, and maybe not worth it. http://codereview.appspot.com/6137050/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
