\abs-fontsize
size (number) arg (markup) -
Use size as the absolute font size (in points) to display arg. Adjusts
baseline-skip
andword-space
accordingly.\markup { default text font size \hspace #2 \abs-fontsize #16 { text font size 16 } \hspace #2 \abs-fontsize #12 { text font size 12 } }

)
-
-
\bold
arg (markup) -
Switch to bold font-series.
\markup { default \hspace #2 \bold bold }
-
\box
arg (markup) -
Draw a box round arg. Looks at
thickness
,box-padding
andfont-size
properties to determine line thickness and padding around the markup.\markup { \override #'(box-padding . 0.5) \box \line { V. S. } }
Used properties:

-
\dynamic
arg (markup) -
Use the dynamic font. This font only contains s, f, m, z, p, and r. When producing phrases, like ‘più f’, the normal words (like ‘più’) should be done in a different font. The recommended font for this is bold and italic.
\markup { \dynamic { sfzp } }

\finger
arg (markup) -
Set arg as small numbers.
\markup { \finger { 1 2 3 4 5 } }
-
\fontCaps
arg (markup) -
Set
font-shape
tocaps
Note:
\fontCaps
requires the installation and selection of fonts which support thecaps
font shape. -

baseline-skip
accordingly.\markup { default \hspace #2 \fontsize #-1.5 smaller }

\magnify
sz (number) arg (markup) -
Set the font magnification for its argument. In the following example, the middle A is 10% larger:
A \magnify #1.1 { A } A
Note: Magnification only works if a font name is explicitly selected. Use
\fontsize
otherwise.\markup { default \hspace #2 \magnify #1.5 { 50% larger } }
-
\medium
arg (markup) -
Switch to medium font-series (in contrast to bold).
\markup { \bold { some bold text \hspace #2 \medium { medium font series } \hspace #2 bold again } }

-
\normalsize
arg (markup) -
Set font size to default.
\markup { \teeny { this is very small \hspace #2 \normalsize { normal size } \hspace #2 teeny again } }
-
\number
arg (markup) -
Set font family to
number
, which yields the font used for time signatures and fingerings. This font contains numbers and some punctuation; it has no letters.The appearance of numbers in the Emmentaler font can be controlled with three OpenType features: ‘kern’, ‘ss01’, and ‘ss02’.
- If ‘kern’ is active (which is the default), kerning gets applied between digits.
- Stylistic variant feature ‘ss01’ (which is off by default) adds left and right side bearings to the digits to make them of equal width, which improves vertical stacking of single digits; it also changes the shape of digits 4 and 7.
- Stylistic variant feature ‘ss02’ (which is off by default) only changes the shape of digits 4 and 7.
\markup { \column { \line { \number 0123456789., (for time signatures) } \line { \override #'(font-features . ("ss02")) \number 0123456789., (for fingering) } \line { \override #'(font-features .("ss01" "-kern")) \number 0123456789., (for fixed-width digits) } } }

\replace
replacements (list) arg (markup) -

-
\tie
arg (markup) -
Adds a horizontal bow created with
make-tie-stencil
at bottom or top of arg. Looks atthickness
to determine line thickness, andoffset
to determine y-offset. The added bow fits the extent of arg,shorten-pair
may be used to modify this. direction may be set using anoverride
or direction-modifiers orvoiceOne
, etc.\markup { \override #'(direction . 1) \tie "above" \override #'(direction . -1) \tie "below" }

arg (markup) -
Use
font-family
typewriter for arg.\markup { default \hspace #2 \typewriter typewriter }
-
\underline
arg (markup) -
Underline arg. Looks at
thickness
to determine line thickness,offset
to determine line y-offset from arg andunderline-skip
to determine the distance of additional lines from the others.underline-shift
is used to get subsequent calls correct. Overriding it makes little sense, it would end up adding the provided value to the one ofoffset
.\markup \justify-line { \underline "underlined" \override #'(offset . 5) \override #'(thickness . 1) \underline "underlined" \override #'(offset . 1) \override #'(thickness . 5) \underline "underlined" \override #'(offset . 5) \override #'(underline-skip . 4) \underline \underline \underline "multiple underlined" }
