Re: New score, middle of the line?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Actually, there is a solution available. Since it's possible to
include a full score in a Text Markup, I figured it should be
possible to let the .ly file contain a single Text markup, which
in turn contains a line with the two scores. This is what I came
up with, starting from your example:

\version "2.6.0"
\include "english.ly"

firstsoprano = {
        \clef treble
        \key g \minor
        \time 4/4
        g'4 fs'4 g'2\fermata \bar "|."
}

firstbass = {
        \clef bass
        \key g \minor
        \time 4/4
        c8 a,8 d4 g,2\fermata \bar "|."
}

figs = \figuremode {
        <5 6>4 <_+>4 <_>2 |
}

secondsoprano = {
        \clef treble
        \key bf \major
        \time 4/4
        \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #-1
        \mark \markup \bold \fontsize #2 {Wo ist mein Schäflein, das ich liebe}
        r4 bf'4 c''4 d''4 | %1
        ef''4 g'4 c''4 bf'4 | %2
        af'2 g'4 \bar ":" \noBreak ef''8( f''16 g''16) | %3
}

secondbass = {
        \clef bass
        \key bf \major
        \time 4/4
        r4 ef4 af4 g8 f8 | %1
        g4 c'8( bf8) af4 ef4 | %2
        f4 bf,4 ef4 \bar ":" \noBreak c4 | %3
}

\markup{
        \score{\new PianoStaff  <<
                        \new Staff \firstsoprano
                        \new Staff \firstbass
                >>
                \layout{raggedright=##t}}
        \score{ \new PianoStaff  <<
                        \new Staff \secondsoprano
                        \new Staff \secondbass
                >>
                \layout{raggedright=##t}}
}


Note that this solution only will work when both
pieces are short enough so the both fit onto a single line, I'm
not sure if that's the case for you. If you have several such
short examples, it may be possible to use the \justify text
markup command that has just been introduced in version 2.7.

Note also that I fixed a couple of other things. For example typesetting
the title using \mark with left alignment, see "8.1.3 Text marks"
in the manual.
