Dear Ponders, the LilyPond documentation on 2.16 gives roughly two options for implementing footnotes:
- in music expressions
- in stand-alone text
I can't find out though how to put footnotes in a text markup within a music _expression_.
So this works fine (footnote_standalone.pdf):
\book {
\header { tagline = ##f }
\markup {
"A simple tune"
\footnote "*" \italic "* By me"
"is shown below."
}
\relative c' {
a'4 b8 e c4 d
}
}
But this fails silently (footnote_asmarkup.pdf):
\book {
\header { tagline = ##f }
\relative c' {
a'4 ^\markup {
"A simple tune"
\footnote "*" \italic "* By me"
"is shown below."
} b8 e c4 d
}
}
Does anyone have some advice for me? I would appreciate it greatly.
Kind regards, Gagi
