Re: OT: typewriter LaTeX package

Cute. Really cute. I did a lot of typing on an old Underwood when I was a kid and it looks very familiar. But IIRC the period and comma looked much heavier (maybe because my (lack of) typing skills at the time). What I also recall is that on a dual-colour typewriter (typically black/red) you

Re: Positioning graphic markup inside staff

Hi delboh, By design, an outside-staff object is not supposed to be placed inside the staff. That's the simple reason why setting Y-offset doesn't help---an outside-staff object just can't cross the border into the stave. *Remedy:* An outside-staff object can be made "inside-staff" by setting

Thank you Andrew; both of the solutions you have provided will be useful. It had not occurred to me that adjusting position with 'extra-offset' would behave differently from setting 'X-offset' and 'Y-offset' directly. delboh del...@hotmail.com On 16 Feb 2018, at 12:52 am, Andrew Bernard

Re: Positioning graphic markup inside staff

Hi Delboh, You could also just draw in Postscript. ^\markup { \postscript #"0.25 setlinewidth 0 0 moveto 0 3 4 3 4 0 curveto stroke" } You can see the syntax is closely related. Some may object to that as it removes the possibility of producing SVG output. I have never needed SVG myself, and

Hi Delboh, Here's one way to do it. \once \override TextScript.extra-offset = #'(0 . -3.5) s4 ^\markup { \path #0.25 #'((moveto 0 0) (curveto 0 3 4 3 4 0) ) } s4 s4 s4 Not ideal, but sometimes using extra-offset is the quickest way to get the job done! Andrew

As someone who does most of my work in monospaced fonts, the double space at the end of the sentence is essential. Without it you get the "wall of text" with no obvious breaks. What word processors do is of course down to the whims of the (perpetrator) programmer! On 15/02/18 18:04, Hugh S.
