Re: Centering a musical example and reducing the vertical space betweenexample and text

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for this. The result is what I wanted, as far as the horizontal centering of the music example is concerned. In most ways what your ME produces is a lot neater than what I had concocted and so there is much that I can learn from it and use.

About the other problem, the large space between the musical example and the next text-block, I'm not quite sure. In my own ME this gap is about twice a large as in your example, but in my real score it is almost 3 times as large as in my ME and 5 times as large as in your ME. 

I think I'll first have to incorporate the structural elements of your code in my complete .ly-file to see what happens. 

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Robert

Hi Phil,

AFAI understand the question:

\markuplist
\override #'(line-width . 90) {

Something like this:?

 

\markup

\fill-line {\center-column { "Some text"} }
\markup \fill-line {\center-column { \score { c''1 } } }
\markup \fill-line {\center-column {"More text"} }

Subject: Centering a musical example and reducing the vertical space betweenexample and text

Dear all,

Underneath the scores Im working on are comments, in many cases interspersed with little musical examples.

I am setting the comments in two columns, one with the original German text, the other with an English translation.

Her is an example of what it looks like now.

<Telemann-SSGb16-inline_ex.png>

How can I center the musical example?

And how can I reduce the space between he example and the next text-block?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone
