Re: Hide and replace a note with text

[Rajesh Baskar]

Thanks Lukas, it works, but for the accidentals. If you see the example code below, is there a way to hide the sharp/flat signs also?

\version "2.22.0"

\language english

questionMark = \markup \general-align #Y #CENTER {
  \fontsize #7 \with-color "#6A00F4" "?"
}

\new Staff \with {
  \omit TimeSignature
}
{
  \cadenzaOn
  \key c \major
  \clef bass
  f1 g
  a
   % comment to center the question mark
  % on the actual notehead position:
  \once \override NoteHead.Y-offset = 0
  \once \override NoteHead.stencil =
  #(lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob questionMark))
  bf
  c'
  \bar "||"
}
