Re: tocItem as \mark

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi David,

to combine those two commands, you should wrap them in one music-function:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
tocMark =
#(define-music-function (mup)(markup?)
   #{
     \tocItem $mup
     \once \override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
     \mark $mup
   #})

%%% test

\markup \left-column \table-of-contents

\relative {
  bes'4 a c b \tocMark "Part 1"
  bes4 a c b \tocMark "Part 2"
  bes4 a c b \tocMark "Part 3"
  bes4 a c b \tocMark "Part 4"
  bes4 a c b
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

That way you can change the appearance of the toc-items and the 
rehearsalmarks in one place.
