16 This section explains how to include text (with various
17 formatting) in music scores.
20 Some text elements that are not dealt with here are discussed in other
21 specific sections: @ref{Vocal music}, @ref{Titles and headers}.
29 @cindex Text, other languages
30 @warning{To write accented and special text (such as characters
31 from other languages), simply insert the characters directly into
32 the LilyPond file. The file must be saved as UTF-8. For more
33 information, see @ref{Text encoding}.}
36 @subsection Writing text
38 This section introduces different ways of adding text to a score.
49 @unnumberedsubsubsec Text scripts
52 @cindex text items, non-empty
53 @cindex non-empty texts
56 Simple @qq{quoted text} indications may be added
57 to a score, as demonstrated in the following example.
58 Such indications may be manually placed
59 above or below the staff, using the
60 syntax described in @ref{Direction and
63 @lilypond[quote,fragment,ragged-right,verbatim,relative=1]
64 d8^"pizz." e f g a4-"scherz." f
67 This syntax is actually a shorthand; more complex text
68 formatting may be added to a note by explicitly using a
69 @code{\markup} block, as described in @ref{Formatting text}.
71 @lilypond[quote,fragment,ragged-right,verbatim,relative=1]
72 d8^\markup { \italic pizz. } e f g
73 a4_\markup { \tiny scherz. \bold molto } f
76 By default, text indications do not influence the note spacing.
77 However, their widths can be taken into account:
78 in the following example, the first text string does not affect
79 spacing, whereas the second one does.
81 @lilypond[quote,fragment,ragged-right,verbatim,relative=1]
89 @funindex \textLengthOn
91 @funindex \textLengthOff
98 @ref{Formatting text},
99 @ref{Direction and placement}.
105 @rinternals{TextScript}.
109 Checking to make sure that text scripts and lyrics are within the
110 margins is a relatively large computational task. To speed up
111 processing, LilyPond does not perform such calculations by
112 default; to enable it, use
115 \override Score.PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
120 @unnumberedsubsubsec Text spanners
122 @cindex Text spanners
124 Some performance indications, e.g., @notation{rallentando} or
125 @notation{accelerando}, are written as text and are extended over
126 multiple notes with dotted lines.
127 Such objects, called @qq{spanners}, may be created
128 from one note to another using the following syntax:
130 @lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right,fragment,relative=2]
131 \override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left #'text = "rit."
137 The string to be printed is set through
138 object properties. By default it is printed in italic characters,
139 but different formatting can be obtained using
140 @code{\markup} blocks, as described in @ref{Formatting text}.
142 @lilypond[quote,ragged-right,fragment,relative=2,verbatim]
143 \override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left #'text =
144 \markup { \upright "rit." }
149 The line style, as well as the text string, can be defined as an
150 object property. This syntax is described in @ref{Line styles}.
154 @funindex textSpannerUp
155 @code{\textSpannerUp},
156 @funindex textSpannerDown
157 @code{\textSpannerDown},
158 @funindex textSpannerNeutral
159 @code{\textSpannerNeutral}
171 @rinternals{TextSpanner}.
175 @unnumberedsubsubsec Text marks
177 @cindex coda on bar line
178 @cindex segno on bar line
179 @cindex fermata on bar line
180 @cindex bar lines, symbols on
183 Various text elements may be added to a score using
184 the syntax described in @ref{Rehearsal marks}:
186 @c \mark needs to be placed on a separate line (it's not
187 @c attached to an object like \markup is). -vv
189 @lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right,fragment,relative=2]
195 This syntax makes it possible to put any text on a bar line;
196 more complex text formatting may be added using a @code{\markup}
197 block, as described in @ref{Formatting text}:
199 @lilypond[fragment,quote,ragged-right,verbatim,relative=1]
201 \mark \markup { \italic { colla parte } }
207 This syntax also allows to print special signs, like coda, segno
208 or fermata, by specifying the appropriate symbol name as explained in
209 @ref{Music notation inside markup}:
211 @lilypond[fragment,quote,ragged-right,verbatim,relative=1]
213 \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" }
218 Such objects are only typeset above the top staff of the score; depending on
219 whether they are specified at the end or the middle of a bar, they
220 can be placed above the bar line or between notes. When specified at a
221 line break, the mark will be printed at the beginning of the next line.

273 any @code{\score} block, as a @qq{top-level
274 expression}. This syntax is described in @ref{File structure}.
276 @lilypond[verbatim,quote]
278 Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow...
283 This allows printing text separately
284 from the music, which is particularly
285 useful when the input file contains
286 several music pieces, as described in
287 @ref{Multiple scores in a book}.
289 @lilypond[quote,ragged-right,verbatim]
294 Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow...
301 Separate text blocks can be spread over multiple pages,
302 making it possible to print text documents or books entirely
303 within LilyPond. This feature, and the specific syntax it
304 requires, are described in @ref{Multi-page markup}.

346 @node Text markup introduction
347 @unnumberedsubsubsec Text markup introduction
355 A @code{\markup} block is used to typeset text with an extensible
356 syntax called @qq{markup mode}.
358 @cindex markup expressions
359 @cindex markup syntax
361 The markup syntax is similar to LilyPond's usual syntax: a
362 @code{\markup} expression is enclosed in curly braces @code{@{
363 @dots{} @}}. A single word is regarded as a minimal expression,
364 and therefore does not need to be enclosed with braces.
366 Unlike simple @qq{quoted text} indications, @code{\markup} blocks
367 may contain nested expressions or markup commands,
368 entered using the backslash @code{\} character.
369 Such commands only affect the first following expression.
371 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=1]
373 a2^\markup { poco \italic più forte }
375 d2_\markup { \italic "string. assai" }
377 b1^\markup { \bold { molto \italic agitato } }
381 @cindex special characters in markup mode
382 @cindex markup mode, special characters
383 @cindex reserved characters, printing
384 @cindex printing special characters
385 @cindex quoted text in markup mode
387 A @code{\markup} block may also contain quoted text strings.
388 Such strings are treated as minimal text expressions, and
389 therefore any markup command or special character (such as
390 @code{\} and @code{#}) will be printed verbatim without affecting
391 the formatting of the text. Double quotation marks themselves
392 may be printed by preceding them with backslashes.
394 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=1]
395 d1^"\italic markup..."
396 d_\markup { \italic "... prints \"italic\" letters!" }
400 To be treated as a distinct expression, a list of words needs
401 to be enclosed with double quotes or preceded by a command.
402 The way markup expressions are defined affects how these
403 expressions will be stacked, centered and aligned; in the
404 following example, the second @code{\markup} expression is
405 treated the same as the first one:
407 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=1]
408 c1^\markup { \center-column { a bbb c } }
409 c1^\markup { \center-column { a { bbb c } } }
410 c1^\markup { \center-column { a \line { bbb c } } }
411 c1^\markup { \center-column { a "bbb c" } }
414 Markups can be stored in variables. Such variables may be
415 directly attached to notes:
417 @lilypond[quote,verbatim]
418 allegro = \markup { \bold \large Allegro }
428 An exhaustive list of @code{\markup}-specific commands can be found in
429 @ref{Text markup commands}.
435 @ref{Text markup commands}.
441 @file{scm/@/markup@/.scm}.
446 Syntax errors for markup mode can be confusing.
449 @node Selecting font and font size
450 @unnumberedsubsubsec Selecting font and font size
452 @cindex font switching
457 Basic font switching is supported in markup mode:
459 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=2]
462 \italic { non troppo \underline Vivo }
465 d,_\markup { \italic quasi \smallCaps Tromba }
476 The size of the characters can also be altered in different ways:
479 the font size can be set to predefined standard sizes,
482 the font size can be set to an absolute value,
485 the font size can also be changed relatively to its previous value.
489 The following example demonstrates these three methods:
491 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=1]
498 \fontsize #5 Sinfonia
505 \magnify #0.6 { e sentimento } )
515 Text may be printed as subscript or superscript. By default
516 these are printed in a smaller size, but a normal size can be used as well:
518 @lilypond[quote,verbatim]
521 \line { 1 \super st movement }
522 \line { 1 \normal-size-super st movement
523 \sub { (part two) } }
528 @cindex font families
530 The markup mode provides an easy way to select alternate
531 font families. The default serif font, of roman type, is
532 automatically selected unless specified otherwise; on the
533 last line of the following example, there is no difference
534 between the first and the second word.
536 @lilypond[quote,verbatim]
539 \line { Act \number 1 }
540 \line { \sans { Scene I. } }
541 \line { \typewriter { Verona. An open place. } }
542 \line { Enter \roman Valentine and Proteus. }
548 Some of these font families, used for specific items
549 such as numbers or dynamics, do not provide all
550 characters, as mentioned in @ref{New dynamic marks} and
551 @ref{Manual repeat marks}.
553 @c \concat is actually documented in Align (it is not
554 @c a font-switching command). But we need it here. -vv
556 When used inside a word, some font-switching or formatting
557 commands may produce an unwanted blank space. This can
558 easily be solved by concatenating the text elements together:
560 @lilypond[quote,verbatim]
564 \concat { 1 \super st }
568 \concat { \dynamic p , }
569 \italic { con dolce espressione }
575 An exhaustive list of font switching, and custom font usage
576 commands can be found in @ref{Font}.
578 Defining custom font sets is also possible, as explained in
586 @funindex \normalsize
603 @ref{New dynamic marks},
604 @ref{Manual repeat marks},
611 @rinternals{TextScript}.
614 @file{scm/@/define@/-markup@/-commands@/.scm}.
618 @unnumberedsubsubsec Text alignment
620 @cindex text, aligning
621 @cindex aligning text
623 This subsection discusses how to place text in markup mode.
624 Markup objects can also be moved as a whole, using the syntax
625 described in @rlearning{Moving objects}.
627 @c Padding commands should be mentioned on this page, but
628 @c most of these require \box to be more clearly illustrated. -vv
630 @cindex text, horizontal alignment
631 @cindex horizontal text alignment
632 @funindex \left-align
633 @funindex \center-align
634 @funindex \right-align
636 Markup objects may be aligned in different ways. By default,
637 a text indication is aligned on its left edge: in the following
638 example, there is no difference
639 between the first and the second markup.
641 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=1]
644 d-\markup { \left-align poco }
646 d-\markup { \center-align { poco } }
648 d-\markup { \right-align poco }
653 Horizontal alignment may be fine-tuned
654 using a numeric value:
656 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=1]
657 a1-\markup { \halign #-1 poco }
659 a,-\markup { \halign #0 poco }
661 a,-\markup { \halign #0.5 poco }
663 a,-\markup { \halign #2 poco }
667 Some objects may have alignment procedures of their own,
668 and therefore are not affected by these commands. It is
669 possible to move such markup objects as a whole, as shown
670 for instance in @ref{Text marks}.
672 @cindex text, vertical alignment
673 @cindex vertical text alignment
677 Vertical alignment is a bit more complex. As stated above,
678 markup objects can be moved as a whole; however, it is also
679 possible to move specific elements inside a markup block.
680 In this case, the element to be moved needs to be preceded
681 with an @emph{anchor point}, that can be another markup element
682 or an invisible object. The following example demonstrates these
683 two possibilities; the last markup in this example has no anchor
684 point, and therefore is not moved.
686 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=1]
689 \raise #2 { Scène 1 }
694 \lower #4 \bold { Très modéré }
698 \raise #4 \italic { Une forêt. }
703 @funindex \general-align
705 @funindex \translate-scaled
707 Some commands can affect both the horizontal and vertical
708 alignment of text objects in markup mode. Any object
709 affected by these commands must be preceded with an
712 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=1]
715 \translate #'(-1 . 2) "Scène 1"
720 \general-align #Y #3.2 \bold "Très modéré"
725 \translate-scaled #'(-1 . 2) \teeny "Une forêt."
731 @funindex \center-column
733 @cindex multi-line markup
734 @cindex multi-line text
735 @cindex columns, text
737 A markup object may include several lines of text.
738 In the following example, each element or expression
739 is placed on its own line, either left-aligned or centered:
741 @lilypond[quote,verbatim]
759 @cindex centering text on the page
761 Similarly, a list of elements or expressions may be
762 spread to fill the entire horizontal line width (if there
763 is only one element, it will be centered on the page).
764 These expressions can, in turn, include multi-line text
765 or any other markup expression:
767 @lilypond[quote,verbatim]
770 \line { William S. Gilbert }
772 \huge \smallCaps "The Mikado"
774 \smallCaps "The Town of Titipu"
776 \line { Sir Arthur Sullivan }
787 @cindex wordwrapped text
788 @cindex justified text
790 Long text indications can also be automatically wrapped
791 accordingly to the given line width. These will be
792 either left-aligned or justified, as shown in
793 the following example.
795 @lilypond[quote,verbatim]
798 \line \smallCaps { La vida breve }
799 \line \bold { Acto I }
801 (La escena representa el corral de una casa de
802 gitanos en el AlbaicÃn de Granada. Al fondo una
803 puerta por la que se ve el negro interior de
804 una Fragua, iluminado por los rojos resplandores
809 \line \bold { Acto II }
810 \override #'(line-width . 50)
812 (Calle de Granada. Fachada de la casa de Carmela

1212 \lookup #"noteheads.s0petrucci"
1218 A simpler, but more limited syntax is also described in
1219 @ref{Music notation inside markup}.
1221 Three families of text fonts are made available: the
1222 @emph{roman} (serif) font, that defaults to New Century
1223 Schoolbook, the @emph{sans} font and the monospaced
1224 @emph{typewriter} font -- these last two families are
1225 determined by the Pango installation.
1227 Each family may include different shapes and series.
1228 The following example demonstrates the ability to select
1229 alternate families, shapes, series and sizes:
1231 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=2]
1232 \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-family = #'typewriter
1233 \mark \markup "Ouverture"
1235 \override Voice.TextScript #'font-shape = #'italic
1236 \override Voice.TextScript #'font-series = #'bold
1237 d'2.^\markup "Allegro"
1242 A similar syntax may be used in markup mode, however in this case
1243 it is preferable to use the simpler syntax explained in
1244 @ref{Selecting font and font size}:
1246 @lilypond[quote,verbatim]
1250 \override #'(font-shape . italic)
1251 \override #'(font-size . 4)
1255 \override #'(font-family . typewriter)
1257 \override #'(font-series . bold)
1261 \override #'(font-family . sans)
1269 @c FIXME: This needs an example -vv
1271 The size of the font may be set with the @code{font-size}
1272 property. The resulting size is taken relative to the
1273 @code{text-font-size} as defined in the @code{\paper} block.
1276 Although it is easy to switch between preconfigured fonts,
1277 it is also possible to use other fonts, as explained in the
1278 following sections: @ref{Single entry fonts} and
1279 @ref{Entire document fonts}.
1283 @ref{The Feta font},
1284 @ref{Music notation inside markup},
1285 @ref{Selecting font and font size},
1288 @node Single entry fonts
1289 @unnumberedsubsubsec Single entry fonts
1291 Any font that is installed on the operating system and recognized
1292 by FontConfig may be used in a score, using the following syntax:
1294 @lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,relative=1]
1295 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'font-name = #"Charter"
1296 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'font-size = #2
1300 \override #'(font-name . "Vera Bold")
1305 @funindex show-available-fonts
1307 The following command displays a list of all available fonts
1308 on the operating system:
1311 lilypond -dshow-available-fonts x
1315 The last argument of the command can be anything, but has to be
1320 @ref{Fonts explained},
1321 @ref{Entire document fonts}.
1327 @file{lily/@/font@/-config@/-scheme@/.cc}.
1329 @node Entire document fonts
1330 @unnumberedsubsubsec Entire document fonts
1333 It is possible to change the default font families for the
1334 entire document. In such a case, the following syntax has
1335 to be used, by providing three font families that will be
1336 respectively used as @emph{roman}, @emph{sans} and @emph{typewriter}
1337 fonts, as explained in @ref{Fonts explained}.
1339 @cindex font families, setting
1340 @funindex make-pango-font-tree
1342 @lilypond[verbatim,quote]
1346 (make-pango-font-tree "Times New Roman"
1349 (/ myStaffSize 20)))
1356 \typewriter typewriter. }
1360 @c we don't do Helvetica / Courier, since GS incorrectly loads
