Re: attaching markup to time signature

[dfro]

Kieren,

I was playing with the code you shared on this thread, and I have a 
question.
Is it possible to get the markup to attach to the clef or time signature 
only in the bass staff? I am getting the text to show, but it is 
attaching to both staves.

Thanks for any advice.

Peace,
David

Here is the code snippet I wrote based on yours:

%START OF CODE

\version "2.19.80"

\layout {
      \context {
            \Score
            \consists "Balloon_engraver"
            \override BalloonTextItem.annotation-balloon = ##f
            \override BalloonTextItem.annotation-line = ##f
            \override BalloonTextItem.font-size = #-2
            \override BalloonTextItem.font-series = #'bold
      }
}


melody = \relative c' {

      c4 c c c
}

stuff = {
      \balloonGrobText #'TimeSignature #'(0 . -1) \markup "test1"
      \balloonGrobText #'Clef #'(0 . -1) \markup "test2"
      \time 2/4

      c2 c
}

\score {
      \new StaffGroup
      <<
            \new Staff {
                  \clef "treble"
                  \melody }
            \new Staff {
                  \clef "bass"
                  \stuff }
      >>
}

%END OF CODE
