Re: Tweaking within markup

[Mats Bengtsson]

To avoid all trial-and-error to figure out the relevant parameters to 
\raise, I would propose the following alternative (which also gets rid 
of the extra horizontal spacing between the parenthesis and the 
accidental):
^\markup { \smaller \concat { \vcenter ( \vcenter \smaller \musicglyph 
#"accidentals.natural" \vcenter ) } }


In fact, you can simplify it even further into the following, which 
still gives the same layout:

^\markup { \smaller \concat { \vcenter ( \smaller \natural \vcenter ) } }
