Hi,

I'm new to Lilypond and am trying to generate SVG output for use elsewhere. In general I'd like to create fragments of music and add ids to each group. So far I've seen that each grob is output as its own <g>--is there a way to group at a higher level, say markup, staff, etc.?

John

\version "2.22.2"

\markup {

    % with SVG output this is two <g>: notehead and dot

    % \override NoteHead.output-attributes.id = 123

    \note {4.} #0

}

Hi John,

There isn’t a simple way to do this. I wonder what leads you to this question, though. Could you explain the purpose for which you would like this type of output? There may be a different way to solve your problem. See also: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem

Best regards,
