Hello,
I was studying the LSR snippet that can insert an alternate rhythm indication (e.g., “swing”, “shuffle”, “maestoso”, etc.) as discussed in Item 204:
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=204
Since I did not need the other options, I am attempting to boil down the snippet to just the thing I need. My attempt is as follows:
\version "2.18.2"
swingindic = \markup {
\line \general-align #Y #DOWN {
\score {
\new Staff \with {
fontSize = #-4
\override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -4)
\override StaffSymbol.line-count = #0
\override VerticalAxisGroup.Y-extent = #'(0 . 0)
}
{
\relative c' { \stemUp b8[ b] }
s4.^\markup { \halign #0 "=" }
\relative c' { \stemUp \tuplet 3/2 { b'4 b8 } }
}
\layout {
ragged-right = ##t
indent = 0
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Clef_engraver"
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
}
}
}
}
\swingindic
This works, but the first note cluster (the two eighth notes) are placed lower than the second note cluster (the triplet between the quarter and eighth note):
What can I do to align the note heads on the same line? Alternatively, what am I missing from the snippet implementation? At this point I am not opposed to using the whole snippet in my piece, but I ask here anyway as a learning opportunity to see how the markup works in this case. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

P.S. I’ve been using Lilypond since Version 2.12, and I have to say it’s my most used program (together with Frescobaldi) as a choir director. Thank you for developing and helping to support such a great program.
