RE: Orientation of Ornaments

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Mr. Kastrup:

Thank you for your reply and instructions. Changing the two "apostrophes" to
one "quote" allowed the file to compile.
As a beginning student of Lilypond (about six months) my inquiries are at a
basic level. I appreciate your patience and that of others in the user's
group.

Although the file (see below) is generated, the mordents are above the chord
rather than to the left of the middle pitches.

mor = 
#(define-event-function (parser location)() #{ \tweak #'text \markup
        { \fontsize #5 \musicglyph #"scripts.mordent" } -1
        #})  
\relative c''
{
   \once \set fingeringDirections = #'(left)
< g, c\mor e > r8 < d' f >
\once \set fingeringDirections = #'(left)
< c e\mor g >4 r8 < e c' > |
 }

Where is my error now?

Again, I thank you for your kind and patient attention.

Mark

I see '' instead of " here two times.

Looks very much like copy-paste error.  Possible causes: "inventive"
news/mail reader, or pasting into a text processor rather than a proper
editor.
