Try this: \version "2.19.59" % based on general-column from scm/define-markup-commands.scm #(define (general-column align-dir baseline mols) (let* ((aligned-mols (map (lambda (x) (ly:stencil-aligned-to x X align-dir)) mols)) (max-extent (ly:stencil-extent (car aligned-mols) X)) (aligned-mols (cons (car aligned-mols) (map (lambda (x) (let ((stil-ext (ly:stencil-extent x X))) (ly:stencil-add (make-line-stencil 0.1 (car max-extent) 0 (1- (car stil-ext)) 0) (make-line-stencil 0.1 (1+ (cdr stil-ext)) 0 (cdr max-extent) 0) (make-line-stencil 0.1 (car max-extent) 0 (car max-extent) 1.5) (make-line-stencil 0.1 (cdr max-extent) 0 (cdr max-extent) 1.5) x))) (cdr aligned-mols)))) (stacked-stencil (stack-lines -1 0.0 baseline aligned-mols)) (stacked-extent (ly:stencil-extent stacked-stencil X))) (ly:stencil-translate-axis stacked-stencil (- (car stacked-extent)) X))) #(define-markup-command (center-column layout props args) (markup-list?) #:category align #:properties ((baseline-skip)) (general-column CENTER baseline-skip (interpret-markup-list layout props args))) \header { subtitle = \markup \bold \large \line { "from" \center-column { "Legend of Heroes" \smaller \smaller \smaller "英雄伝説" "英雄伝説" \huge "英雄伝説" } "VI:" \center-column { "Trails in the Sky" \smaller \smaller \smaller "空の軌跡" } } } { c } You might want to adjust some of the hard-coded values (line-thickness, length of "protrusions," offset of bracket from text), but this should get you started. -David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
