To print a rehearsal mark, use the \mark
command
c1 \mark \default c1 \mark \default c1 \mark #8 c1 \mark \default c1 \mark \default
(The letter `I' is skipped in accordance with engraving traditions.)
The mark is incremented automatically if you use \mark
\default
, but you can also use an integer argument to set the mark
manually. The value to use is stored in the property
rehearsalMark
.
The style is defined by the property markFormatter
. It is a
function taking the current mark (an integer) and the current context
as argument. It should return a markup object. In the following
example, markFormatter
is set to a canned procedure. After a
few measures, it is set to function that produces a boxed number.
\set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-numbers c1 \mark \default c1 \mark \default \set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-box-numbers c1 \mark \default c1 \mark \default c1
The file scm/translation-functions.scm contains the definitions
of format-mark-numbers
(the default format), format-mark-box-numbers
,
format-mark-letters
and format-mark-box-letters
.
These can be used as inspiration for other formatting functions.
The \mark
command can also be used to put signs like coda,
segno, and fermata on a bar line. Use \markup
to
access the appropriate symbol
c1 \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts-ufermata" } c1
If the mark occurs at a line break, the mark will be printed at the beginning of the next line. If there is no next line, then the mark will not be printed at all. To print the mark at the end of the current line, use
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
Program reference: MarkEvent (lilypond-internals) , RehearsalMark (lilypond-internals) .
Init files: scm/translation-functions.scm contains the
definition of format-mark-numbers
and
format-mark-letters
. They can be used as inspiration for other
formatting functions.
