Suggestion: Possible extension to tablature support

2005-12-30 Thread David E. Nelson

I am trying to align long text (example : "Le Seigneur est ma lumière et mon salut") under one note (duration = \breve). It is a sort of paslmody. No problem with long text, but by default, Lilypond (v2.6) centers the note which is sung onto the text, rather than writing it at the beginning of the

What controls figured bass?

Hi, I would like to know for the development series of Lilypond (2.7.2x), the figured bass is controlled by which grob? Fundamentally, since figured basses are markups as the distance between them and the staff is controlled by a markup command (baseline-skip), are they controlled by TextScript?
