Hello Nick, my markup code to place the flat sign is slightly different - I would say, its a matter of taste. But you might define a markup command, so that you don't need to write all that bold-lower-translate-wahtelse-stuff: --snip-- #(define-markup-command (flatglyph layout props)() (interpret-markup layout props (markup #:smaller #:smaller #:smaller #:smaller #:translate '(0.2 . 0.5) #:flat))) \header { title = \markup { \concat { "Original key: E" \flatglyph " minor" } } subtitle = \markup { \concat { "Original key: E" \flatglyph " minor" } } subsubtitle = \markup { \concat { "Original key: E" \flatglyph " minor" } } } \relative c'' { c4 c c c } --snip-- I use four times smaller, to get the sign scaled in all font-sizes. With tiny, it will be tiny all the time. The translation is not adjusted by font-size, so it will still be a little bit to high or low for bigger and smaller sizes.

Neither way I have found of doing this is satisfactory, as shown below. The first leads to an oversized flat symbol that is too close to the preceding character, and the second to a flat symbol that does not have the same weight as the surrounding characters. |
