Re: Need multiple \mark entries over the same barline

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi James,

2014-07-30 1:49 GMT+02:00 James Harkins <address@hidden>:

In some places, I have a \markup-style mark over the same barline, and at the same barline, I also want a rehearsal mark (produced by \mark \default). Unfortunately it seems only one \mark is allowed at any given moment.

This is a type of markup-style marking I mean:

 \mark \markup { \fontsize #-2 { \note #"4." #1 "=" \note #"2" #1 } }

... where you wouldn't want the score to print the duration equivalence over every staff, just at the top. And of course rehearsal marks shouldn't go over every staff either.

Is there any workaround?

A mini example would have been great here...

Maybe this snippet could help ? http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=202

Somerhing like :

\version "2.18.2"

#(define (format-mark-box-letters-markup-style mark context)
  (markup #:line
    (#:center-column
      (#:line
        (#:fontsize -2 (#:note "4." 1)
         #:fontsize -2 "="
         #:fontsize -2 (#:note "2" 1))
        #:bold #:box (#:markletter (- (ly:context-property context 'rehearsalMark) 2))
        ))))

markDefaultMarkupStyle = {
  \set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-box-letters-markup-style
  \once\override Score.RehearsalMark.baseline-skip = #4
  \mark\default
}

myMusic = \relative c'' {
  \repeat unfold 4 a
  \markDefaultMarkupStyle
  \repeat unfold 4 a
}

\new StaffGroup <<
  \myMusic
  \myMusic
  \myMusic
>>

HTH,
Pierre
