Hi,
I seem to have some problems understanding the manuals. In
lilypond-notation (instrument specific markup) I read:
‘\note’ DURATION (string) DIR (number)
This produces a note with a stem pointing in DIR direction, with
the DURATION for the note head type and augmentation dots. For
example, ‘\note #"4." #-0.75’ creates a dotted quarter note, with a
shortened down stem.
It's not clear to me how to achieve e.g. a dotted quarter note, with a
shortened *up* stem. This does not work:
1. \markup { \note #"4" #UP #0.75 }
2. \markup { \note #"4" #UP #-0.75 }
It's also not clear to me why it is necessary to define a DIR direction
in order to get a whole note. Example:
\markup { \note #"1" #UP }
Strange syntax but compiles fine with LP 2.19.50.
I'd expect to be able to write
\markup { \note #"1" }
in order to get a whole note but this results in the following error:
syntax error, unexpected STRING, expecting LOOKUP_IDENTIFIER or
SCM_FUNCTION or SCM_IDENTIFIER or SCM_TOKEN
Is this a (tiny) bug or just an inconvenience and is it possible to
alter the lengths of up stems in the context of the \note command?
Thanks for your help!
Sylvius
