Re: Primo symbol in LilyPond

[Marcos Press]

Keeping away from theoricals constructions of different languages and sticking to the image to achive, I think these should do some trick. Surely it could be perfected.

\score {

  \relative c'' {

   c^\markup \concat { 1\char #186 }  % from pls snip

   b^\markup{ "1°"}                           % from ryanmichaelmcclure

   c^\markup{ \concat{ "1" \large "°"}} % from ryanmichaelmcclure

   b^\markup{ \concat{"1"\column{\vspace #-.2"o" \vspace #-.8"."}}} % my idea.

|

   g^\primero

   a^\markup{ "1°"}

   g^\markup{ \concat{ "1" \large "°"}}

   a^\markup{ \concat{"1"\column{\vspace #-.2"o" \vspace #-.8"."}}}

  }

}

Good Luck!

Just a short (and pedantic) comment: in Portuguese (or at least in Brazil),
the correct way to abbreviate the word "primeiro" is 1.º

If you write 1° (without the point), this should be read as "um grau" (one
degree). That said, not many people use these concepts correctly, and more
often than not you will find 1° representing "primeiro".

I know that the link in the wikitionary also says that 1º is the correct
abbreviation for primeiro, but I think they got it wrong there.

Take care,
Gilberto
