Hi Ponders

In earlier scores of mine I used

/mark /markup {  /box "Mark Label" }

Now that I'm migrating (some of) those to /sectionLabel (yes, I can simply replace /mark by /sectionLabel) I wonder how I could add the box globally. I know that I could accomplish that with a substitution function like

sctLbl = #(define-music-function    (label)    (markup?)    #{      \sectionLabel \markup {\box #label }    #})

\relative c' { \sctLbl "Hello" c d e f }

But my programmer's gut feeling tells me that a configuration approach would be the preferred one. I guess the solution looks something like this

\layout {

   \context {

     \Score

     \set Score.markFormatter = ...

   }

}

Try

\version "2.24.1"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override SectionLabel.stencil =
      #(make-stencil-boxer 0.15 0.5 ly:text-interface::print)
  }
}

{
  c'1
  \sectionLabel "Coda"
  c'
}

perfetto, thanks a lot!

Also, consider using \textMark rather than \sectionLabel in case your text is not semantically a section label.

    sure! That's why I like the ability to introduce semantic structure
    with section / sectionLabel :-)

Best,
