Re: How do I add a small fermata?

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Good morning,

if you place the fermata as a MarkupTextScript event, you can shift it with 
self-alignment-X:

--snip--
  \once \override TextScript #'self-alignment-X = #-0.6
  c^\markup { \fontsize #0 \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" }
--snip--

If you concat the ufermata with other text, you can see, that its used extent 
does not apply to 
its visual extent. So it will not be centered, if you set self-alignment-X to 
0. With fonsize = #0 
and self-alignment-X = #-0.6 it looks quite well.

Cheers,
Jan-Peter
