Hi Kieren, unfortunately it's not what I'm looking for because I also want
the instrument name there as in:
*\version "2.14.2" *
*
*
*gong = \new Voice {*
*
*
* \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup\right-column{*
* \small\bold\italic"e."*
* \line{\center-column{\raise #1.5 "Wind " \raise #1.5 "Gong " }
\tiny\bold\italic "m." }*
* \small\bold\italic "c."*
* } *
* *
* \clef percussion *
* \autoBeamOff*
*
*
*\relative c' {*
* *
* \override Staff.NoteHead #'style = #'cross*
* \override Stem #'stemlet-length = #0.75*
* \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-0.05*
* *
* #(define mylines '(-4 0 4))*
* \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #mylines*
* *
*
*
*R1*2 | *
*\times 2/3{ d8\ppp^"soft mallets (s.m.)"[ e r] } \times 2/3 { r8[ r d\>] }*
* \times 2/3 { r8[ e8. f16\pppp] } r4 |*
* *
*R1 |*
*\break*
*
*
*}}*
*
*
*\score {\new Staff <<\gong>>}*
I hope it's more clear now what I'm aiming for. Still I honestly think
there should be an easier way than spending hours of tweaking markup: just
to add some simple text in front of a staff. And still the result is not
that satisfactory.
I think LilyPond is the greatest software, especcially for contemporary
music: a simple thing should be made simple though, just like the other
things in LilyPond are :) Thank you all. I will work on a nice enhancement
request.
All the best,
Gagi
