formatting a text before the score

2013-11-25 Thread olicha 
Hi,
In order to give the context of a short waltz I wrote for a performance of a
play by Chekhov, I am trying to insert three cues of the play before the score.
Here is my code:
\markup  { \abs-fontsize #12
  \column {
\vspace #1
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV On dirait qu'il y a de la musique quelque
part.\italic {(Elle écoute.)}
}
\wordwrap {GAÏEV C'est notre fameux orchestre juif. Tu te rappelles,
quatre violons, une flûte et une contrebasse. 
}
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV Tiens, il existe toujours! Il faudrait l'inviter, à
l'occasion organiser une petite soirée. 
}
\left-align {\line { \italic {Anton Tchekhov}}}
  }
}

two problems:
- line spacing between two lines of a wrapped line (Gaiev's cue) is bigger
than between independent lines. I cannot find how to modify that.
- I'd like to right align the author's name but writting "right" instead of
"left" just push it further to the left and it gets clipped.

Thank for any help

I'm working on the first problem still. However, give this a try for the 
name:


\markup{ \fill-line{ \line{ } \line { \italic{Anton Tchekhov


Basically, this fills an entire line. By having two lines inside the 
fill-line, it spaces one on the left and one on the right. The first one 
is empty, hence the { }. The second one, right-aligned, is the name



I'll get back to you as soon as I figure out the top part.

By the way, what version of LilyPond are you running?

Try this for the first part:

\markup{ 
  \abs-fontsize #12 \column { 
\vspace #1 \wordwrap {LIOUBOV On dirait qu'il y a de la musique quelque
part.\italic {(Elle écoute.)}
}
\wordwrap {GAÏEV C'est notre fameux orchestre juif. Tu te rappelles,
quatre violons, une flûte et une contrebasse. 
}
\hspace #0 
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV Tiens, il existe toujours! Il faudrait l'inviter, à
l'occasion organiser une petite soirée. 
}
  }
}

Putting \hspace #0 puts an invisible space there to keep them from
colliding. So, the final product would be:

\markup{ 
  \abs-fontsize #12 \column { 
\vspace #1 \wordwrap {LIOUBOV On dirait qu'il y a de la musique quelque
part.\italic {(Elle écoute.)}
}
\wordwrap {GAÏEV C'est notre fameux orchestre juif. Tu te rappelles,
quatre violons, une flûte et une contrebasse. 
}
\hspace #0 
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV Tiens, il existe toujours! Il faudrait l'inviter, à
l'occasion organiser une petite soirée. 
}
  }
}
\markup{ \fill-line{ \line{ } \line { \italic{Anton Tchekhov

Let us know if you need anything else! :)

Thanks a lot for the tips which work perfectly.
I would like to understand how the \hspace #0 can impact the height of a
line or the way it is wrapped. Is that explained anywhere in the
documentation?
