Right aligned text in header

2018-03-13 Thread Br. Samuel Springuel
I'm creating a custom bookTitleMarkup for a project I'm working on and have some lines which are setup like `meter` and `arranger` in the default template (two blocks of text, one flushed left the other right, on the same line). However, on one of those lines the header properties to be used

Adding note names to a language

I would like to add the basic solfege note names to the english language module so that I can enter music (mostly chant) using solfege and then use `\transpose` to adjust its sounding pitch to create a midi file which can be used for practice. So far, I've done this by editing

If the problem is Mac related, then it might have to do with System fonts (located in /Library/Fonts) vs. User fonts (located in Users//Library/Fonts). IIRC, the default installation location when using Font Book is the User location. I've had problems with some programs (can't remember if

As my general use case is hymns for congregational singing, if I were to find the time to create a sample, it would probably have the following characteristics: Notes of all durations from 1/16 to whole. Some of the 1/8 and 1/16 notes would be beamed while others unbeamed. Some slurs and ties.

The one problem that jumps out at me about Karlin's proposal is that the information about the font type (OTF, SVG, WOFF) and whether or not that type has a defined brace would be lost. That sort of information can be important depending on your target file format. If you can find a way to

Thanks Harm. The code may not be fully tested, but it does seem to do the job for me. There was one issue I ran into. I have a `\wordwrapright-field` and `\wordwrapcenter-field` which I make use of in this project and I had to load your code before I defined those commands (if done in

What is the best way to suppress the default scoreTitleMarkup? I've been using `scoreTitleMarkup = \markup \null` but this is creating an extra space above the score (which, with lilypond-book-preamble.ly, comes out as an empty "system"). I'm defining a custom titling format in which I want
