Re: Bottom-right-aligned, multi-line paragraphs within headings
Hi Harm, Thus I took a different approach. Remember, dir-column _respects_ baselines. Following this idea means: - create a list of line-stencils - right-align them - stack them up(!) in reverse order And after deleting \general-align #Y #DOWN from scoreTitleMarkup we're done. Amazing! And again there's something I'll enjoy digesting more fully. Thanks! Lukas

Hi Lukas,
some remarks:
You refer to my very first LSR snippet
https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=765
originally coded with 2.14. (or was it even 2.12.?, don't remember exactly ...)
There I c/p-ed general-column from define-markup-commands.scm, because
it is not public.
For wordwrap-right you obviously had copied (and renamed) the original
textRight (with a hardcoded baseline-skip).
Nowadays I'd rather use general-column from a more recent version. The
LSR-snippet was already improved to have baseline-skip adjustable.
That said...
The problem of not base-aligned texts persist, because general-align
aligns the whole markup, not respecting baselines.
Thus I took a different approach.
Remember, dir-column _respects_ baselines. Following this idea means:
- create a list of line-stencils
- right-align them
- stack them up(!) in reverse order
And after deleting \general-align #Y #DOWN from scoreTitleMarkup we're done.
Leading to:
#(define-markup-command (column-right-up layout props args) (markup-list?)
#:properties ((baseline-skip))
(let* ((lines (wordwrap-internal-markup-list layout props #f args))
(right-aligned-lines
(map (lambda (stil) (ly:stencil-aligned-to stil X RIGHT)) lines)))
(stack-lines

0.0
baseline-skip
(reverse right-aligned-lines

(let ((n (chain-assoc-get symbol props)))
(if (index? n)
(interpret-markup

(markup (format #f
(string-append "~" (number->string digits) ",'0d")
n)))
empty-stencil)))
#(define-markup-command (wordwrap-right-field layout props symbol)

(let* ((m (chain-assoc-get symbol props)))

(column-right-up-markup layout props m)

scoreTitleMarkup = \markup
\overlay {
%% Only to demonstrate aligning to baseline, delete me!
\translate #'(0 . -0.1) \draw-hline

}
\score {
\header {

piece-title = "Gottes Sohn ist kommen"
infotext = \markuplist {
This paragraph is in two or more rows, and the last line needs

as you want.

as you want. Bla bla text, bla bla text? Really important bla
bla text, bla bla text.
}
}
\relative g' { g2 f e c d b c1 }

The draw-hline is only there to visualize baselines, should be deleted ...

Hi Molly,
iiuc you use the << {…} \\ {…} >> construct to start/end spanners at
measure positions not covered by entered notes or rests in the "main"
voice.
Because this construct creates _new_ Voices called "1", "2", etc it is
not suitable for this purpose as soon as said spanners are not
started/ended in the same Voice. And ofcourse Lyrics associated to the
main Voice will simply skip those Voices.
While there are always ways around it, I'd recommend not to use << {…}
\\ {…} >> for anything other then _short_ and temporary polyphonic
situation and close to never when Lyrics are part of the game.
You may try:
For associated Lyrics the NullVoice (not demonstarted below)
and/or simultaneous music in _one_, the main Voice for starting ending
spanners or use \at (by David K.)
Examples:
\version "2.20.0"
at =
#(define-music-function (time event music)
(ly:duration? ly:music? ly:music?)
"Place @var{event} at a relative duration @var{time} in relation
to @var{music}."
#{ \context Bottom << { \skip $time <>$event } $music >> #})
<<
\new Staff = "control" \repeat unfold 16 r2
\new Staff
\new Voice = "music" {
%% simultaneous music in one Voice
e'1~ e'1 << d'1~ { s2 s\> } >> d'1\!
\break
%% using \at (actually very similiar to the above, more verbose coding)
e'1~ e'1 \at 2 \> d'1~ d'1\!
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "music" { Hel -- lo Hel -- lo }

HTH,
Harm

I do it by adding a \once \partCombineChords. It doesn't feel great as a
solution, but it works.
\version "2.22.0"
voiceA = \relative c'' {
c4 d e f g4 f e d c1
\once \partCombineChords R1*27 \break
c4 d e f g4 f e d c1 }

Thank you all for explaining the NullVoice and Dynamics contexts.
I think I got it for now.

Re: cresc over whole notes with lyrics
Well, I'm seeing two things: 1) there is no ending to the decrescendo,
so it throws a warning, and 2) the tie from the first e'1 to the
second won't work, because the second is in a different voice. I
don't know exactly what you want to do with the decrescendo, but I'd
put it in a separate Dynamics voice, like this:
%%%
\version "2.20.0"
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "music" {
e'1 ~ | e'1 | d'1 ~ | d'1
}
\new Dynamics {
s1 | s2 s \> | s s\! | s1
}
\new Lyrics \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup.
nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #2
\override VerticalAxisGroup.
nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.padding = #2
}
\lyricsto "music" { Hel -- lo }
>>
%%%

partCombine: how to print "a due" automatically again
Dear community,
is there a way to get the "a due" text in combined parts automatically?
Here's my short snippet:
\version "2.22.0"
voiceA = \relative c'' {
c4 d e f g4 f e d c1
R1*27 \break
c4 d e f g4 f e d c1 }
voiceB = { \voiceA }
\score {
<<
\new Staff { \partCombine \voiceA \voiceB }
>>
}
Thanks for any help,
Stefan
