Hi Robin, thanks for your help. The other day I found a different approach here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg51078.html. This comes even closer to my original intention:
\version "2.13.3" \markup { \line { \score { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { c'1 } \new Staff { c'1 } >> \layout {} } \hspace #9.0 \center-column \lower #7 {\line {D.S. al} \line { \musicglyph #"scripts.coda" \raise #-0.5 - \hspace #0.5 \musicglyph #"scripts.coda" }} \score { \new GrandStaff << \new Staff { c'1 } \new Staff { c'1 } >> \layout {} } } } 1) Is it possible to manipulate the width of the gap between the systems? I would like to reduce the width. 2) How do I have to proceed to integrate this construct in a template such as: upper = \relative c'' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a4 b c d } lower = \relative c { \clef bass \key c \major \time 4/4 a2 c } \score { \new PianoStaff << \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano " \new Staff = "upper" \upper \new Staff = "lower" \lower >> \layout { } \midi { } } I actually would like to typeset some music before and after the gap between the systems. Many thanks for pointers! patrick -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:19:32 +0200 > Von: "Robin Bannister" <r...@dataway.ch> > An: "Patrick Schmidt" <p.l.schm...@gmx.de>, lilypond-user@gnu.org > Betreff: Re: text in horizontal space between staves > Patrick Schmidt wrote: > > is it possible to align the coda signs underneath "D.S. al"? > > Well, this makes the markup narrower > and then you start to see that we had no horizontal centering. > > Using a breathing sign instead of a note head makes it easy to > anchor the markup in the middle of the measure. > By default you get a half-measure gap on either side. > > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > \stopStaff > s2 > \once \override BreathingSign #'text = #dsalcodacoda > \once \override BreathingSign #'Y-offset = 0 % vertical anchor > \once \override BreathingSign #'X-extent = #'(-1 . 1) % change side gaps > \breathe > s2 > \startStaff > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > > > And the markup must be centered both horizontally and vertically: > > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > dsalcodacoda = > \markup \vcenter \override #'(baseline-skip . 2) \center-column { > \line { D.S. al } > \line { \musicglyph #"scripts.coda" - \hspace #0.5 > \musicglyph #"scripts.coda" } } > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > > > Cheers, > Robin -- Jetzt kostenlos herunterladen: Internet Explorer 8 und Mozilla Firefox 3 - sicherer, schneller und einfacher! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/chbrowser _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
