Fwd: Re: Placing a section name at the start of a staff

[Stephen MacNeil]

hey I do those all the time :)

your scan was hard to read but it looks like it

as separate scores

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

{

\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \concat {\larger \bold N \raise #1 \center-column\number { \fontsize #-7 \raise #.8 \sub o \vspace #-.35 \fontsize #-8 \raise #.4 \super \bold = }} \larger \bold \halign #-1 1 \halign #-1 \bold .}

}

{

\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \bold \larger No.01 }

}

{

\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \concat {\larger \bold N \raise #1 \center-column\number { \fontsize #-7 \raise #1 \sub o \vspace #-.35 \fontsize #.1 \raise #1 \bold . }} \larger \halign #-1 \bold 2 \halign #-1 \fontsize #1 \bold .}

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

etc.

or as one

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

{

\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \bold \larger No.01 }

\repeat unfold 4 {

c c c c

}\break

\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup { \bold \larger No.04 }

\repeat unfold 4 {

c c c c

}

}

%%%%%%%%%%%

both work

in the one you posted I would use separate

HTH
