When using `\italic`, it seems that spaces are inserted before and after the
formatted text. Is it possible to disable this, ie, place an italic character
directly next to a non-italic character?
Hi Ian,
LilyPond adds space between all markups. To glue two or more things together you need to use the \concat function, e.g.:
\markup { \concat { a \italic {b c} d \italic "e f" g. } }
By the way, version 2.12, if that is what you are using, is well out of date. You should upgrade to 2.18. It's 100% awesome!
