Re: repeated _\markup{} at same distance from staff...?

[Stephen MacNeil]

Hey paul

if the markup is all on one it takes only one staff padding. What i mean is each markup is based off of what you attach it to. so a trick I do is put them in one markup then all you need to do is center under each with halign.

here is an example

Also i am not sure why you wanted Vb ... but it does say Exam so...

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\paper {

indent = 0

top-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #10

score-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #20

system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #20

last-bottom-spacing #'basic-distance = #10

}

I = \markup {I}

IV = \markup {IV}

V = \markup {V}

Vb = \markup {V \raise #1 \tiny\flat}

roman = \markup {\I \halign #-1.5 {\IV} \halign #-1 {\V} \halign #-2.2 {\Vb}}

global = {

\key d \major

\numericTimeSignature

\time 4/4

}

sopMusic = \relative c'' {

% measure 1

fis4\( d cis8[ b] a4

% measure 2

}

bassMusic = \relative c {

\override Accidental.color = #blue
