I, too, am working on a piece that includes poetry (not necessarily
synced with the score), various instructions, improvisation directives
and drawings and I found that using OOoLilyPond gives me the necessary
flexibility.  You may wish to take a look at that (you obviously need
OpenOffice as well).

Sounds very promising. Thank you very much, Kieren (again :-)).

I already wrote the piece using CorelDraw to place the instructions
and the choir parts but it's certainly worth a couple more hours to
make the layout work with just LP.

Re: Markup and music side by side

Hi Risto,


I was wondering if there's a way to put a markup block, e.g., on the
left side of the paper and the music on the right side of the page?


Don't forget that \markup can include \score (as long as that \score  
includes a \layout):


\markup
{
\fill-line
{
\line { words go here }
\score { { a b c d e } \layout {} }
}
}

Hope this helps!
Kieren.

Markup and music side by side

2008-07-09 Thread Risto Vääräniemi
Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way to put a markup block, e.g., on the
left side of the paper and the music on the right side of the page? I
am wrestling with quite a peculiar piece that consists of snippets of
music and performing instructions and I'd like to put the text next to
the music.

I guess it's possible in lilypond-book. However if that's the only
option I'll probably use some other software to place the LP-generated
systems and the text.
