Yes, I’m so used to using that in my number theory papers, I wasn’t thinking 
about the OP’s likely use. Thanks for clarifying!

That's a lowercase math gamma.  You mean Γ instead (the normal uppercase
text gamma) which of course is also available in a lowercase variant γ.
You really really don't want to use math fonts for text.

Thanks! There's so much to learn about this Lilypond environment...

If you need more than just the one Greek letter, you can always extend 
the \paper's replacement-alist in a similar fashion to how 
include-special-characters works.  Attached is an example with most 
(though not all) Greek letters.

Hi Mark,

[Welcome to the 'Pond!]

> I want to get the verbb text to show as italic.  

The easiest way is probably:

verbb = \lyricmode {
  \override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
  ut re mi fa sol la
}

Make sure your file is being saved with Unicode (UTF-8) encoding, and simply 
put the gamma (휸) in there directly.

Hope that helps!

[newbie] Some \markup stuff

2019-01-14 Thread Mark Probert 


Hi, all.

I've hit a small snag which I can't find an elegant solution for.  In 
the following snippet I want to get the verbb text to show as italic.  
I can surround each element with \markup \italic{ xx } but that is 
ugly.  And I can't seem to see anything obvious jumping out of the 
documentation to help.

Second question: I want to replace the "G" in verba with a Greek Upper 
Gamma ( doesn't work). Is there a simple way of doing this?

Any pointers greatly appreciated!

TIA .. mark.
