Hey all, I'm working on a piece that uses a fair bit of spoken text.
The best solution I've found so far to typeset X amount of spoken text in measure Y is : \version "2.14.0" textnote = #(define-music-function (parser location music marky) (ly:music? markup?) #{ \once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print \once \override NoteHead #'text = $marky $music #}) #(define-markup-command (hD layout props) () (interpret-markup layout props (markup #:hspace 5))) \new Staff { \textnote b'1 \markup { \hD \hD Attention \hD K-Mart \hD shoppers. } \textnote b'1 \markup { \hD \hD Today's \hD Blue \hD Light } \textnote b'1 \markup { special \hD can \hD be \hD found \hD in } \textnote b'1 \markup { asile \hD seven. \hD \hD } \textnote b'1 \markup { Asile \hD seven, \hD K-Mart \hD shoppers. } } So far so good. However, as soon as a second staff is added, the spacing goes out of whack. \version "2.14.0" textnote = #(define-music-function (parser location music marky) (ly:music? markup?) #{ \once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print \once \override NoteHead #'text = $marky $music #}) #(define-markup-command (hD layout props) () (interpret-markup layout props (markup #:hspace 5))) << \new Staff { \repeat unfold 40 a8 } \new Staff { \textnote b'1 \markup { \hD \hD Attention \hD K-Mart \hD shoppers. } \textnote b'1 \markup { \hD \hD Today's \hD Blue \hD Light } \textnote b'1 \markup { special \hD can \hD be \hD found \hD in } \textnote b'1 \markup { asile \hD seven. \hD \hD } \textnote b'1 \markup { Asile \hD seven, \hD K-Mart \hD shoppers. } } >> I'm not sure how to get the spacing of the first example while keeping the multi-staffitude of the second example. For the geeks on the list, ly:text-interface::print is registered as a pure print callback, so it should get fed just fine into the horizontal spacing engine in both examples. Does anyone have any suggestions as to: (1) A better way to do this; and/or (2) If there is no better way, how to fix the horizontal spacing problem above?
