So, any hint is appreciated. when I was writing the "double" function, I was heavily improvising because I didn't yet know the \overlay command (or it was not available in older LilyPond versions). A more reliable way would now be: % ---------------------------------------------------------------- #(define-markup-command (double layout props letter) (markup?) (interpret-markup layout props #{ \markup{ \overlay { $letter \translate-scaled #'(0.4 . -0.4) $letter } } #})) % ---------------------------------------------------------------- The pair of numbers after \translate-scaled exactly defines the shift of the additional letter. If you don't want additional parameters for the "\double" function, maybe the use of properties might be an option: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/extending-big-page#on-properties I never tried that, but it looks interesting. Does that help? Cheers, Klaus -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html
