Re: colouring absolute dynamic markings

I recommend you to read carefully the full chapter on Tweaking output. The section Fixing overlapping notation contains a list of commonly tweaked objects. The general principles for how to figure out the relevant object are discribed in the section The \override command with its subsection.

writing identifiers

I'd like to have an identifier to represent \once \override Slur #'transparent = ##t \appoggiatura (nearly the same as \grace, but with better spacing when the gracenote is a quarter-note). I tried to model it on: padText = #(define-music-function (parser location padding) (number?)

Re: writing identifiers

It's not that tricky. At first sight, you may even think that there is no need for a music function at all, but as you probably have found out yourself, an identifier like myGrace = { \once \override Slur #'transparent = ##t \appoggiatura } does not work. The reason is that \appoggiatura itself

Changing title and stanza font

Hi, how can I change the title font? I tried to use \markup { \override #’(font-name . MetaPro-Bold) {Title} } but this does not work. Additionally I would like to change the numbering of the stanzas to my preferred font. I am able to change the lyrics font but the numbers are still in the

Re: Changing title and stanza font
