Re: Text beside staff
I think the best way to do this is to use the instrument name:
\score {
\new PianoStaff \with { instrumentName = \markup \huge "No. 4" }
<<
...

Text beside staff
Hi,
I'm typesetting a book of études. I am currently putting the number of the
etude (1-2 digits) in the header as a title, but I would like to put it to
the left of the first staff, in the indented white space. It should be
center-aligned between the left margin and the first staff, and vertically
centered about the staff.
Can someone provide a tidy way to do this?
Thank you!!
\version "2.20.0"
\header {
title = "1"
subtitle = "A female deer"
}
{\repeat unfold 16 c' \break
\repeat unfold 20 c'}

Re: text in staff and markup text font=addlyric font
Ok, not exactly sure what that means in this case but looking through the
manual I'm not able to understand the numeric values in terms of what they
do/mean.
So where's a good explanation?
Also it sounds like (I hope I'm wrong) that you have to use the \override
etc and extra-offset for each symbol/word and I really need it globally.
And then is there somewhere that gives the font equivalents for
#(set-global-staff-size 25)
or any other for an example how to again globally alter the font size so
that it matches the lyric font size? Since the global staff size seems to
determine the lyric font size.
Again, if I'm mislead please set me straight maybe I'm looking at this the
wrong way.
Thanks

My mail client is plain-text only (Latin-1). Can you post a message

character-order right, and then, secondly, the \markup command *with*
word-wrap justify, so that I can look at it?
You don't have to use the actual characters in the two \markup examples.
You could just use ascii characters ABC...; it would still show me
the structure of the command you're using.

Re: text below staff ouch!
Well I have to admit I only tried two of the examples
\markup {
this is normal text
\override #'(linewidth . 60)
\wordwrap {
ABC cde
}
works and gives me edc CBA but for a long lines it
keeps going off the page (no word wrap?)I gather the
override linewidth should be set to something
different for this to work?...
}
\markup {
this is normal text
\override #'(linewidth . 40)
\justify {
ABC def
ABC def
ABC def
}
if I make separate lines they come out as a mess one
on top of the other.
}
\markup {
\override #'(linewidth . 40)
{ \wordwrap-string # ABC def
Here the word wrap does work but the word order for
hebrew comes out:
CBA fed (left to right word order right to left letter
order)
\justify-string #
ABC def
ABC def
ABC def
}
Here the justify works but on the english side not the
hebrew. The hebrew word order is also wrong:
CBA fed
CBA fed
CBA fed
(left to right word order right to left letter order)
I am sorry I didn't test this better previously.
So I can get the correct word order it is just the
justify and wordwrap that are acting flakey.

Re: text below staff ouch!
Well, from your four examples, and from Han-Wen's remarks, it looks like
you will have to give up on using wordwrap: I think you will have to
produce each line of the text individually, given LilyPond's current
limitations.
If you define the lines in variables,
La = this string is the first line of text
Lb = this string is the second line of text
Lc = this string is the third line of text
and so on, guessing as well as you can how to break up the text
into lines, then you can write
\markup { La }
\markup { Lb }
\markup { Lc }
or instead, the following might work:
\markup { \column { La Lb Lc } }
I haven't been using LilyPond for very long, but I think you could write
something like
\markup { \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.2) \column { La Lb Lc } }
or maybe
\markup { \column { \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.2) La Lb Lc } }
to control the vertical spacing of the lines. But at least one of those
two possibilities is not correct syntax. I'm pressed for time tonight, so
I can't try these things out at the moment.
As to whether you could throw in a \justify before or inside
the \column {...} construct, I don't know, but it would be worth a try.

Re: text in staff
If you want to move something vertically, it's almost always better to use the padding property instead of extra-offset. The reason is that if you set padding, then LilyPond will realize that you have moved something and migh for example add some extra spacing between the staves to avoid that your moved text collides with the stave above. If you use extra-offset, then LilyPond will not adjust the layout of anything else.
