Dear Lilypond
I am trying to add a "note value equals note value" in the middle of a piece.
I would call this a "durational equivalent" or a "beat unit equivalent".
Lilypond must have a different name for it, however, because I can not find
this by searching.
The closest I can find is Lilypond's "Music Notation inside Markup", which is
what i want, but i can not get the code to work. Cutting and pasting the
following from the Lilypond Notation Reference will work:
^\markup {
\note {4} #1
=
\note-by-number #1 #1 #1.5
}
but i do not understand the syntax. This results in "quarter-note =
dotted-half-note with a long stem".
What do the various # signs control? I get errors whenever i try to change any
of them.
FYI, I am trying to write "half note = half note", and scale it to about 75%
size.
Again, this is to go in the middle of the piece, not in the tempo / metronome
field at the beginning of the piece.
Thanks in advance!
