Re: different font size settings for instrumentName and shortInstrumentName

[Simon Albrecht]

Hi Kieren,

I think the most natural way to do this would be to define a scheme 
function, which generates an output def, so that the following two 
examples would have the same result:


%%%
\version "2.19.47"

\score {
  \new Staff \with {
instrumentName = \markup \fontsize #3 "Flute"
shortInstrumentName = \markup \fontsize #-2 "Fl."
  }
  { 1 \break 1 }
}

nameInstrument =
#(define-scheme-function (long short) (string? string?)
   (ly:make-output-def
;;; do whatever it takes to make an output def with the above content…
))

\score {
  \new Staff \nameInstrument "Flute" "Fl." { 1 \break 1 }
}
%%

David K. recently made it possible to use multiple \with blocks per 
context creation, so that could easily be combined with other 
modifications to the Staff.


Unfortunately, ly:make-output-def is totally opaque, even looking at the 
definition in the source doesn’t give me (ok, I don’t know any C++) the 
slightest hint how to use it. What’s more, one cannot use \displayScheme 
on a with block… so I need to ask for others to chime in here – it can’t 
be too complicated, can it?


Best, Simon

Has anyone elegantly solved the problem of having different font settings

could write a music function, and then use

or even just use

 instrumentName = “long name”
 shortInstrumentName = \markup \fontsize #-2 ”short name”

etc., but I’d prefer a global solution that can be set as a context override.

Thanks!
Kieren.

Hi Pierre,

That works perfectly!

Might I suggest that would make a great snippet in the doc section on 
instrument names?
I can’t be the only one who’s ever wanted different size names for the two 
types…

Many thanks,
Kieren.

Or even:

\version "2.19.48"

longInstrumeentNameFontSize = 6
shortInstrumeentNameFontSize = -3

\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\override InstrumentName.after-line-breaking = #(lambda (grob)
   (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'long-text
  (markup #:fontsize longInstrumeentNameFontSize (ly:grob-property
grob 'long-text)))
  (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text
  (markup #:fontsize shortInstrumeentNameFontSize (ly:grob-property
grob 'text)))

  )
}
}

\new Staff
   \with {
 instrumentName = "Flute"
 shortInstrumentName = "Fl."
   }
   { c''1 \break c'' }

Pierre

Hi Kieren,

How about:


\version "2.19.48"

shortInstrumeentNameFontSize = -3

\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\override InstrumentName.after-line-breaking = #(lambda (grob)
  (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text
  (markup #:fontsize shortInstrumeentNameFontSize (ly:grob-property
grob 'text
}
}

\new Staff
   \with {
 instrumentName = "Flute"
 shortInstrumentName = "Fl."
   }
   { c''1 \break c'' }


Cheers,
Pierre

different font size settings for instrumentName and shortInstrumentName

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hello all,

Has anyone elegantly solved the problem of having different font settings 
(size, in particular) for instrumentName and shortInstrumentName? I know I 
could write a music function, and then use

instrumentName = “long name”
shortInstrumentName = \myfunction ”short name”

or even just use

instrumentName = “long name”
shortInstrumentName = \markup \fontsize #-2 ”short name”

etc., but I’d prefer a global solution that can be set as a context override.

Thanks!
Kieren.
