Re: Moving just text, leaving articulations in place?

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Robert and Simon,

I posted a code example here of how to recast the Larsen library as articulations, not markup. You can take it from there and convert the whole lot the same way.

treating the articulation symbols as text?

Yes, it does, because that’s how they are implemented. ^\markup "" generates a TextScript grob.
Sorry I can’t help with how to generate proper custom articulations (that generate Script grobs) right now – surely somebody else will be able to chime in.
