Hi all,
there's a method of harmonic analysis (»Bassstufen« in German) that
works by having numbers in a main layer plus option bass figures on
top. There are at least two flavours or this analysis markup: the
original one from the 18th century with bare numbers for the bass
steps, and at least one modern variant with additional markup. Attached
you'll find one example.
For a proper handling I need to combine this into *one* command (the
example was created with separate Lyrics and BassFigures contexts).
Is there a way to add arbitrary markup to bass figures or to add bass
figures to markup (maybe the easier way round)? Of course I know how to
add the music font numbers to a markup, but it would be nice (and less
error-prone) not having to reimplement LilyPond's bass figure
typesetting.
Has anyone done that already? Thoughts?
Best
Urs
Hi Urs,
Not exactly sure that's what you're looking for, butbass figures
can contain surprisingly complex expressions, including markups.
\figures {
<6 4 \markup { \vspace #1 \circle \number 5 }>
}
Best,
Jean
