I would like to generate this swing equality https://musescore.org/sites/musescore.org/files/swing_0.jpg
to have it printed in a t-shirt. I am trying something like this (cargo culting online code) but can't get spacing around the equal sign right. I have read the documentation about horizontal spacing but all seems to assume the markup shouldn't affect distance between notes. Can anybody help? \version "2.18.2" \layout { pagenumber = no #(layout-set-staff-size 26) \context { \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver" \remove "Clef_engraver" \remove "Bar_engraver" } } \header { tagline = "" } melody = \relative c''' { \override TextScript.extra-offset = #'(2 . 2) \stopStaff a,8 a8-\markup { \whiteout \pad-markup #0.5 "=" } \times 2/3 { a4 a8 } } \score { { \melody } } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
