Re: \markup question

[Mats Bengtsson]

Why not look in the manual? The manual for version 2.0 says

\note log dots dir
    This produces a note with a stem pointing in dir direction, with duration
log log and dots augmentation dots. The duration log is the negative
2-logarithm of the duration denominator. For example, a quarter note has log 2,
an eighth note 3 and a breve has log -1.

However, I recommend to upgrade to a newer version. I recently
saw some mail in this mailing list from a user who mentioned
he used 2.6.3 on Gentoo.
