RE: too much space for text

[Nick Payne]

If you want it to take less space horizontally, you could set set it in two columns:

 

\version "2.11.63"

ganzunten = {\clef bass

        \textLengthOff

        \ottava #-1

        %es wird zweistimmig!

        <<

{ \once \override TextScript #'baseline-skip = #2

\oneVoice <a,,, \harmonic b, \harmonic > 1 ~ ^\markup { \teeny \italic \column { "Cluster stumm niederdrücken," "mit drittem Pedal halten" }}

           

            \repeat unfold 2 {  <a,,, \harmonic b, \harmonic > 1 ~ }

          <a,,, \harmonic b, \harmonic > 4~  <a,,, \harmonic b, \harmonic > 8  r8 r2  } \\

          { %die zweite Stimme

            {    \makeClusters { <c,,  g,  > 32 <c,,  g,  > 32  } s16*15 |  }

       

              }

        >>

  

        \ottava #0  }

\new Staff { \ganzunten }

Subject: too much space for text

 

Dear lilypond-users,
in the below quoted example the text takes, in my opinion, too much space, athough I wrote the command \textLengthOff.
How can I avoid it?
Here is the snippet:

\version "3.11.60"
ganzunten = {\clef bass
        \textLengthOff
        \ottava #-1
        %es wird zweistimmig!
        <<
          { \oneVoice <a,,, \harmonic b, \harmonic > 1 ~ ^\markup { \teeny \italic "(Cluster stumm niederdrücken, mit drittem Pedal halten" }
           
            \repeat unfold 2 {  <a,,, \harmonic b, \harmonic > 1 ~ }
          <a,,, \harmonic b, \harmonic > 4~  <a,,, \harmonic b, \harmonic > 8  r8 r2  } \\
          { %die zweite Stimme
            {    \makeClusters { <c,,  g,  > 32 <c,,  g,  > 32  } s16*15 |  }
       
              }
        >>
  
        \ottava #0  }
\new Staff { \ganzunten }
