Dear all,
I'm having trouble with tweaking the layout of non-musical notation.
Dozens of try/retry sequences didn't get LilyPond to do the job.
First, I point you at this unexpected feature :
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%% The following code outputs <title> and <subtitle> at
%%% different horizontal shifts
\version "2.11.26" %(windows)
\header
{
title = \markup \normalsize \fill-line { "azerty" }
subtitle = \markup \normalsize { "azerty" }
}
\score {c''}
\layout{}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% end %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Now, the job :
. <index>, <title>, <subtitle> : variable length strings.
. I want to get <title> and <subtitle> centered on the page,
while <index> is placed on the left of <title>.
. I could not place <index> at a _fixed_ position from the _variable_
position of <title>'s first character.
. I could not even place <index> at a _fixed_ position from the _fixed_
left margin of the page.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin BROKEN source %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.26" %(windows)
\header
{
title = \markup \normalsize
{
%{
%% doesn't compile
\once \override #'(line-width . 60)
\right-align "№ 210" % index
%}
%% doesn't work
\override #'(left-margin . 40)
"№ 210" % index
\override #'(left-margin . 18) % can't use \revert ?
\fill-line { \center-align
{
"azerty" % title
"azerty" % subtitle
}}
}
}
\score {c''}
\layout{}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% end BROKEN source %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
For now, I use the following (unsatisfying) trick as a stopgap :
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin source %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.26" %(windows)
\header
{
title = \markup \normalsize \fill-line
{
\hcenter-in #40 "№ 210" % index
\center-align
{
"azerty" % title
"azerty" % subtitle
}
\hcenter-in #40 ""
}
}
\score {c''}
\layout{}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% end source %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Any piece of advice ?
Thanks,
Germain
