Re: Markup text simplification

Thanks, Jean.

I read that section over a few times and completely missed the implication of \etc 

Gratefully!

-mark.

Hi.

I the score I’m currently working on littered with expressions like

  fis2 r4 f4^\markup { \italic \smaller “schaftlich" } |

Is there a way to write a substitution macro that means I could write

    fis2 r4 f4^\itmark “schaftlich"  |

instead?

\version "2.24.1"

itmark = -\markup \italic \smaller \etc

\fixed c' {
  fis2 r4 f4^\itmark "schaftlich"
}

See https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/substitution-function-examples

Best,
