Thank you so much for this, and also for the detailed explanation!
I'll test it today and report.

Hi Richard,
before the Score Title and the Movement Title.

Ah, interesting! I was a bit confused about which lilypond markup
commands work in the titling fields, now it's clear, thanks.

Well, intriguingly this is possible (with one wrinkle):
In the Scheme window paste this script:
8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><
(let ((tag "ScoreMarkup")(user-input ""))
(set! user-input (d-DirectiveGet-score-data tag))
(if (not user-input)
(set! user-input "Insert LilyPond markup syntax here - delete any
paragraph markers ¶ as they will display wrongly\n"))
(set! user-input (d-GetUserInputWithSnippets #f #f user-input #f))
(disp "user-input " user-input "\n\n")
(if user-input
(let ((syntax (string-append "\\markup {\n" (string-delete #\¶ (car
user-input)) "\n}")))
(d-SetSaved #f)
(d-DirectivePut-score-data tag (car user-input))
(d-DirectivePut-score-prefix tag syntax)
(d-DirectivePut-score-display tag syntax))
(d-WarningDialog (_ "Score Markup unchanged"
8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><
When you execute this it lets you type in LilyPond markup syntax and
displays how it will look in the top pane as you type.
When you are done it puts it at the top of your score (by wrapping it
with \markup {})
The wrinkle is that the paragraph markers ¶ are still inserted and need
to be deleted, otherwise the preview shows them as new lines.
There are commands under the Selection button for putting a selection
of your text into a line (and the lines, when selected, into a column).
This script can be made into a palette button, new command etc as
usual.

I should have mentioned - this command isn't ideally suited to the task
of visualizing what your markup will look like because it inserts a
paragraph marker every time you press Enter, forcing you to immediately
press Backspace to delete it, leaving just the newline you wanted. Of
course, you don't technically need new lines inside markup, but they
make it easier to read. Also, you need to surround your whole syntax
with \markup { ... } even though the visualisation works without it.
These wrinkles are due to the fact that the MultiLineTextAnnotation
command is going to munge the syntax you give up after you have
finished, adding the surrounding \markup{...} and splitting the lines
at the paragraph markers.
I've long thought it would be nice to create a pure LilyPond markup
interactive generator for Denemo, just by cutting down that command...

That's a quick way to do it without looking to deeply into LilyPond's
markup syntax - but see below (*).

Do you mean between the Score Title and the Movement Title or before
everything?

You can use any markup commands in the various fields that built-in for
titling - e.g. using the Movements->Titles->Simple Titles->Set Titles
=>"piece" field I pasted in the text
\justify {
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed
do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco
laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
}
which came from that page and it arranged it justified between the
margins below the movement title.
(*) Perhaps you would be better off not using the built-in titling at
all, since you are writing more and more markup commands - the built-in
titling is just layering a few markup commands around the text that you
give so you may better off with a clean sheet.
If you use the command
Command: LilyPond Score Prolog
Inserts LilyPond syntax for include files etc at head of score.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Score
Internal Name: ScoreProlog
to insert some markup this will appear at the top of the score
(actually, if you *do* have simple titles it will appear between the
Score title and the first Movement title).
What you could do is to interactively design your markup syntax that
you want to use by invoking the command
Command: Multi-line Text and Music
Inserts multi-line text object which can include music snippets, Fret
Diagrams and Note Names/Chord Symbols. LilyPond Markup can be used and
a preview button is available to check the syntax.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Directives ▶ Markings ▶ Text/Symbol
Internal Name: MultiLineTextAnnotation
This command let's you see how your markup will look as you write it.
Once you are happy with it you would copy the markup text and paste it
into the ScoreProlog command above.
(after cancelling the creation of the multi-line text object of
course). You could create your entire title and text system in LilyPond
markup syntax, giving you the maximum flexibility.
It's a trade off between entering only small bits of the syntax and
having complete control.

[Denemo-devel] (Justified) text between title and staff and text before movement.
Hi, for the manual I'm writing I'd need to write some text between a movement title and a staff. At the moment I'm using the 'Piece' field, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to do it. Also, I'd need to write an introductory text before the first movement. I'm using Text after Movement quite often and it's very handy so I'm wondering how to type some Text before the first Movement. Finally, the texts should be justified, as in the 'Markup lines' example here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/text Thank you for your help, Lib ___ Denemo-devel mailing list Denemo-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/denemo-devel
