Re: lowering an upper markup on the staff

[olicha]

Thanks, that override works the way I want.
Is there any way to put it in the variable itself so I won't have to repeat
it all along the tune?
I tried a lot of variation around
tic = \once \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f \once
\override TextScript.Y-offset = #-0.5  \markup { \beam #.5 #2 #.5 }
without finding the right syntax.

lowering an upper markup on the staff

[olicha]

In order to show where the separations between music cells are, I wrote:
tic = \markup { \beam #.5 #2 #.5 }
...
r16 c b^a a g e^\tic d^b f e8
which produces
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n158718/tic.png 

I'd like to get the tic lower, at least on the two upper lines of the staff.
The better would be half-stem, if its position could be referenced to the
note itself.

I tried
r16 c b^a a g \once \override TextScript.Y-offset = #-1 e^\tic d^b f e8

Surprisingly, nothing changes from #-1 to #-4, and suddenly, with #-5, the
tic falls down under the staff.

question one: what is the method to get that tic on the staff?
question two: what is the correct syntax for writing the override in the
definition of the variable (tic = ...)? It would make the tune more
readable.

Thanks

Re: formatting a text before the score

[olicha]

Thanks a lot for the tips which work perfectly.
I would like to understand how the \hspace #0 can impact the height of a
line or the way it is wrapped. Is that explained anywhere in the
documentation?

formatting a text before the score

[olicha]

Hi,
In order to give the context of a short waltz I wrote for a performance of a
play by Chekhov, I am trying to insert three cues of the play before the score.
Here is my code:
\markup  { \abs-fontsize #12
  \column {
\vspace #1
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV On dirait qu'il y a de la musique quelque
part.\italic {(Elle écoute.)}
}
\wordwrap {GAÏEV C'est notre fameux orchestre juif. Tu te rappelles,
quatre violons, une flûte et une contrebasse. 
}
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV Tiens, il existe toujours! Il faudrait l'inviter, à
l'occasion organiser une petite soirée. 
}
\left-align {\line { \italic {Anton Tchekhov}}}
  }
}

two problems:
- line spacing between two lines of a wrapped line (Gaiev's cue) is bigger
than between independent lines. I cannot find how to modify that.
- I'd like to right align the author's name but writting right instead of
left just push it further to the left and it gets clipped.

Thank for any help
