I have some boiler-plate markup that I use in 16C music to show the lyric
repeat sign they use: a small circle, 2 lines and another circle. This is
what I use, split into separate lines and commented:
\once \override Lyrics.LyricText.Y-extent = #'(-10 . 10) % stops
collisions with stems
\set lyricMelismaAlignment = #CENTER % keeps the symbol centred
\markup { \raise #1 % shifts it up
{ \draw-circle #0.1 #0.1 ##t % draw the first circle
\raise #1 { \draw-line #'( 0 . -2 ) } % draw first line
\raise #1 { \draw-line #'( 0 . -2 ) } % draw second line
\draw-circle #0.1 #0.1 ##t } } % draw final circle
_ _ _ _ _ % one underscore for each note in the lyric repeat
\unset lyricMelismaAlignment % reset alignment
I was hoping to replace this with a function to make the copying and
pasting less of a problem. Ideally, I would have something like:
lyr = \lyricmode { Word \LyRep #5 next word }
And the LyRep command would use the commands above to draw the repeat sign
and add 5 skips. Problem is, I can't currently get close to making this
work. I can draw the symbol with a define-markup-command, but don't know
how to deal with the skips.
Help appreciated.
