\page-ref label (symbol) gauge (markup) default (markup)

Reference to a page number. label is the label set on the referenced page (using \label or \tocItem), gauge a markup used to estimate the maximum width of the page number, and default the value to display when label is not found.

(If the current book or bookpart is set to use roman numerals for page numbers, the reference will be formatted accordingly – in which case the gauge’s width may require additional tweaking.)

\pattern count (non-negative, exact integer) axis (non-negative, exact integer) space (number) pattern (markup)

Prints count times a pattern markup. Patterns are spaced apart by space (defined as for \hspace or \vspace, respectively). Patterns are distributed on axis.

  \pattern #7 #X #2 \flat
  \null
  "Vertically repeated :"
  \pattern #3 #Y #0.5 \flat
}

\verbatim-file name (string)

Read the contents of file name, and include it verbatim.

\markup {
  \verbatim-file #"en/included/simple.ly"
}

[image of music]

\whiteout arg (markup)

Provide a white background for arg. The shape of the white background is determined by style. The default is box which produces a rectangle. rounded-box produces a rounded rectangle. outline approximates the outline of the markup.

\markup {
  \combine
    \filled-box #'(-1 . 15) #'(-3 . 4) #1
    \override #'(thickness . 1.5)
    \whiteout whiteout-box
}
\markup {
  \combine
    \filled-box #'(-1 . 24) #'(-3 . 4) #1
    \override #'((style . rounded-box) (thickness . 3))
    \whiteout whiteout-rounded-box
}
\markup {
  \combine
    \filled-box #'(-1 . 18) #'(-3 . 4) #1
    \override #'((style . outline) (thickness . 3))
    \whiteout whiteout-outline
}

[image of music]

Used properties:

  • thickness (())
  • style (box)
\with-color color (color) arg (markup)

\with-dimension axis (integer) val (pair of numbers) arg (markup)

Set the horizontal dimension of arg to val if axis is equal to X. If axis is equal to Y, set the vertical dimension of arg to val instead.

\with-dimension-from axis (integer) arg1 (markup) arg2 (markup)

Print arg2 but replace the horizontal dimension with the one from arg1 if axis is set to X. If axis is set to Y, replace the vertical dimension with the one from arg1 instead.

\with-dimensions x (pair of numbers) y (pair of numbers) arg (markup)

Set the horizontal and vertical dimensions of arg to x and y.

\with-dimensions-from arg1 (markup) arg2 (markup)

Print arg2 with the horizontal and vertical dimensions of arg1.

\with-link label (symbol) arg (markup)

Add a link to the page holding label label around arg. This only works in the PDF backend.

\markup {
  \with-link #'label {
    \italic { This links to the page
               containing the label... }
  }
}
\with-outline outline (markup) arg (markup)

Print arg with the outline and dimensions of outline. The outline is used by skylines to resolve collisions (not for whiteout).

\with-true-dimension axis (integer) arg (markup)

Give arg its actual dimension (extent) on axis. Sometimes, the extents of a markup’s printed ink differs from the default extents. The main case is if glyphs are involved. By default, the extents of a glyph are based on the glyph’s metrics (i.e., a default vertical and horizontal size for the glyph), which, for various reasons, are often not identical to its bounding box (i.e., the smallest rectangle that completely encompasses the glyph’s outline) – in most cases, the outline protrudes the box spanned up by the metrics.

\markup
  \fontsize #10
  \override #'((box-padding . 0) (thickness . 0.2))
  \box
  \musicglyph "scripts.trill"

[image of music]

For purposes other than setting text, this behavior may not be wanted. You can use \with-true-dimension in order to give the markup its actual printed extent.

\markup
  \fontsize #10
  \override #'((box-padding . 0) (thickness . 0.2))
  \box
  \with-true-dimension #X
  \musicglyph "scripts.trill"

[image of music]

\with-true-dimensions arg (markup)

\markup \with-true-dimensions arg is short for \markup \with-true-dimension #X \with-true-dimension #Y arg, i.e., \with-true-dimensions has the effect of \with-true-dimension on both axes.
