2. This symbol needs to be in the staff. It usually cuts the top two lines of the staff. I don't know enough about placing markup or other marks anywhere I want them. This has caused me difficulty for locating
other text needed on basic musical parts.
Any more hints?
Even though I am not complaining since this is a volunteer project I
am surprised that no one has needed this common (to me at least)
musical notation.
I wanted to use this when I was first beginning in Lilypond, but I pretty much only knew about the stuff in the tutorial. I tried using ^#"//", but in the end I gave up and wrote it in by hand. Now I use breath marks and fermatas in an attempt to mimic it -- not perfect, but it's ok.
I may learn something basic about markup here. Can you give me an example about how to move a specific markup with #'extra-offset? I have tried raise without success before. Also if I can use "//" maybe I can use the actual symbol as defined in my previous post in this thread.If I wanted to use it now, I'd try using a bold, smaller-font "//" and use #'extra-offset to lower it until it covers those lines in the staff.
I've been there many times and have learned a lot but not how to do the above.Consult the "fine tuning a piece" portion of the tutorial for more details on this.
Thanks,
Paul
