There are a few settings you can fiddle with to tweak lilypond output (ea. is a lilypond "markup" command--should each include an ~A where the actual text goes):

(defparameter *lilypond-text-markup* "\markup{\italic{~A}}") (defparameter *lilypond-textdyn-markup* "\markup{\dynamic{\italic{\bold{~A}}}}") (defparameter *lilypond-texttempo-markup* "\markup{\bold{\huge{~A}}}") (defparameter *lilypond-textnote-markup* "\markup{\italic{~A}}")

So you can try something like

init :lilypond-text-markup "\markup{\italic{\tiny{~A}}}" or init :lilypond-textnote-markup "\markup{\italic{\tiny{~A}}}"

There are also a few settings for inserting arbitrary lilypond commands, :lilypond-filehead and :lilypond-scorehead, and a part option called :lily-parthead--these can all be set to text strings to be inserted in the lilypond file at various spots--fiddling with these is probably more trouble than it's worth though

this isn't the ugliest example i can generate (its just whats in front of me now) but it does show some of the problems

i might be just being a bit fussy, the number of text entries are slightly non conventional - its just the way i use fomus - to generate an algorithmic score and then work on it by hand - so i need lots of analysis information included in the notation

main problem: bar two violin 1 - text note clash - the text entries need vertical displacement

minor / unimportant: bar 7 viola arco clash with accidental page two second last bar - cello - pizz and arco getting a little close page 2 system 1 bar 1 violin 2 - :prall colliding with beams

sorry to be a pain ;)

maybe you could pass me the code to reduce the default text size - this might be a workaround for the moment

is there somewhere in the documentation that discusses changing these defaults - stave size - text size - notation font size etc etc?

thanks

I might be able to have fomus make some simple layout tweaks that will at least make it more readable (in the XML output as well)... could you send me a few of the nasty examples?

is there any way to give priority to textnote spacing - i am getting a lot of nasty clashes/overlaps of text entries in the lilypond output
