A.10.4 Music

\customTabClef num-strings (integer) staff-space (number)

Draw a tab clef sans-serif style.

\doubleflat

Draw a double flat symbol.

\markup {
  \doubleflat
}

\doublesharp

Draw a double sharp symbol.

\markup {
  \doublesharp
}

\fermata

Create a fermata glyph. When direction is DOWN, use an inverted glyph. Note that within music, one would usually use the \fermata articulation instead of a markup.

 { c1^\markup \fermata d1_\markup \fermata }

\markup { \fermata \override #`(direction . ,DOWN) \fermata }

Used properties:

• direction (1)

\flat

Draw a flat symbol.

\markup {
  \flat
}

\musicglyph glyph-name (string)

glyph-name is converted to a musical symbol; for example, \musicglyph #"accidentals.natural" selects the natural sign from the music font. See The Feta font for a complete listing of the possible glyphs.

\markup {
  \musicglyph #"f"
  \musicglyph #"rests.2"
  \musicglyph #"clefs.G_change"
}

\natural

Draw a natural symbol.

\markup {
  \natural
}

\note-by-number log (number) dot-count (number) dir (number)

Construct a note symbol, with stem and flag. By using fractional values for dir, longer or shorter stems can be obtained. Supports all note-head-styles. Supported flag-styles are default, old-straight-flag, modern-straight-flag and flat-flag.

\markup {
  \note-by-number #3 #0 #DOWN
  \hspace #2
  \note-by-number #1 #2 #0.8
}

Used properties:

• style (’())
• flag-style (’())
• font-size (0)

\note duration (string) dir (number)

This produces a note with a stem pointing in dir direction, with the duration for the note head type and augmentation dots. For example, \note #"4." #-0.75 creates a dotted quarter note, with a shortened down stem.

\markup {
  \override #'(style . cross) {
    \note #"4.." #UP
  }
  \hspace #2
  \note #"breve" #0
}

Used properties:

• style (’())
• flag-style (’())
• font-size (0)

\rest-by-number log (number) dot-count (number)

A rest or multi-measure-rest symbol.

\markup {
  \rest-by-number #3 #2
  \hspace #2
  \rest-by-number #0 #1
  \hspace #2
  \override #'(multi-measure-rest . #t)
  \rest-by-number #0 #0
}

Used properties:

• multi-measure-rest (#f)
• style (’())
• font-size (0)

\rest duration (string)

This produces a rest, with the duration for the rest type and augmentation dots. "breve", "longa" and "maxima" are valid input-strings.

Printing MultiMeasureRests could be enabled with \override #'(multi-measure-rest . #t) If MultiMeasureRests are taken, the MultiMeasureRestNumber is printed above. This is enabled for all styles using default-glyphs. Could be disabled with \override #'(multi-measure-rest-number . #f)

\markup {
  \rest #"4.."
  \hspace #2
  \rest #"breve"
  \hspace #2
  \override #'(multi-measure-rest . #t)
  {
  \rest #"7"
  \hspace #2
  \override #'(multi-measure-rest-number . #f)
  \rest #"7"
  }
}

Used properties:

• word-space (0.6)
• multi-measure-rest-number (#t)
• multi-measure-rest (#f)
• style (’())

\score score (score)

Inline an image of music. The reference point (usually the middle staff line) of the lowest staff in the top system is placed on the baseline.

\markup {
  \score {
    \new PianoStaff <<
      \new Staff \relative c' {
        \key f \major
        \time 3/4
        \mark \markup { Allegro }
        f2\p( a4)
        c2( a4)
        bes2( g'4)
        f8( e) e4 r
      }
      \new Staff \relative c {
        \clef bass
        \key f \major
        \time 3/4
        f8( a c a c a
        f c' es c es c)
        f,( bes d bes d bes)
        f( g bes g bes g)
      }
    >>
    \layout {
      indent = 0.0\cm
      \context {
        \Score
        \override RehearsalMark
          #'break-align-symbols = #'(time-signature key-signature)
        \override RehearsalMark
          #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
      }
      \context {
        \Staff
        \override TimeSignature
          #'break-align-anchor-alignment = #LEFT
      }
    }
  }
}

Used properties:

• baseline-skip

\semiflat

Draw a semiflat symbol.

\markup {
  \semiflat
}

\semisharp

Draw a semisharp symbol.

\markup {
  \semisharp
}

\sesquiflat

Draw a 3/2 flat symbol.

\markup {
  \sesquiflat
}

\sesquisharp

Draw a 3/2 sharp symbol.

\markup {
  \sesquisharp
}

\sharp

Draw a sharp symbol.

\markup {
  \sharp

\tied-lyric str (string)

Like simple-markup, but use tie characters for ‘~’ tilde symbols.
