RE: Marks above and below simultaneously

[Daniel Rosen]

Thanks a lot for this--if someone does know how to modify this to accept 
metronome marks as well, that'd be great.

Hi,

Wihout the need of a Dynamics context, I personnaly use Neil's 
#multi-mark-engraver which provide an easy and (IMHO) efficient way to print 
simultaneous rehearsal marks.
I think it could be expanded to metronome marks (maybe a Scheme guru could have 
a look).

I find this "multi-mark-engraver" so much useful, I hope a nice implementation 
of it could be integrated directly within LilyPond.

I don't know what is the current version of LilyPond installed on the LSR.  
When this code was produced by Neil it could not be included in the LSR because 
of LilyPond version installed on it.

Cheers,
Xavier

Hi,

I use Neil's great "multi-mark-engraver" and I can put two simultaneous 
rehearsal marks with different directions, self-alignment-X, etc.
AFAIK it works great and does not exhibit side effect on staff spacing.

See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-08/msg00157.html
for the definition of "multi-mark-engraver".

%%%% Lily code

% you should include the definition of "multi-mark-engraver"
% http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-08/msg00157.html

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Mark_engraver"
    \consists #multi-mark-engraver
    \consists "Tweak_engraver"
  }
}

\relative c'{
  \repeat unfold 60 { c4 }
  \tweak #'self-alignment-X #RIGHT
  \mark \markup \normalsize \musicglyph #"scripts.segno"
  \tweak #'direction #DOWN
  \tweak #'self-alignment-X #RIGHT
  \mark \markup \normalsize "Menuetto D.C."
}

%%%% End of lily code
