Re: Footnotes on rest markups

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Martin,

See: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=918

E.g.:

\version "2.20.0"
\markup { \footnote \null { \tiny "1. More fluent, but always moderate" } }
{
  \time 3/4
  R2.*9^\markup { Fliessender, aber immer gemässigt \super 1 }
}

Cheers,

Pierre

PS. Please post small but complete (i.e. runnable) example including your version number.

Hello Lilypond residents,

I would really like to be able to add footnotes to markup text applied to rests (whole bars). I'm typesetting some Mahler and every second multi bars rest has a long German string which I'd like to add the translation to as a footnote (ideally with automatically incrementing footnote numbers).

So something like:

R2.*9^\markup { Fliessender, aber immer gemässigt \super 1 }\footnote \markup "" #'(0 . 0) \markup { \tiny "1. More fluent, but always moderate" }

From what I can see, this does not produce a footnote since a rest is not an event-based footnote and what I need is a time-based footnote perhaps. How would I encode that?

Thanks!
