Please check in the documentation what \center-align does. Actually, your first example can just as well be written as \override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons (markup #:finger "1 " " " ) "") which seems to be equivalent to \override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons (markup #:line (#:fin

The easiest way to automate it is probably to do something like (assuming the piece repeats this pattern 12 times) barlines = { \repeat 12 {s8*7 \bar ":" s8*7 \bar ":" s8*11 | } which you can add in one of your staves (since a \bar statement applies to all staves, you can add it anywhere): \sco

To all the OSX users out there: if you open a lilypond .pdf file with Apple's Preview (on 10.3.9, at least) and print to pdf, the resulting pdf does not correctly embed lilypond fonts, which results in ugly dynamics when you try to print it from another machine. You might have tried this if you
