Quoting Marcus Macauley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
As an alternative to the second method -- and a perhaps more
conventional one, recommended by Kurt Stone -- niente can be notated
not with the dynamic letter "n" but with the italic "n." (this time
with a period). This should be possible to do now, but I can't
figure out how to switch off the boldface:
n = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:text #:italic "n." ) ) % This
makes the text bold-italic.
n = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:text "n." ) ) % In fact, even
this makes it bold-italic, as if that's the default text font style.
Why? And how to switch it off?
The simple reason is that dynamics by default have bold face turned on.
For situations like these, where you want tobe sure
to first reset all font related properties before starting applying
your own preferences, the markup command \normal-text was introduced
in version 2.7. So you should be able to do something like
n = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:normal-text #:italic "n." ) )
