RE: \path command

[Curt McDowell]

Here's something like that, but using \postscript instead of \path. I can't get \path at the right origin. It seems to ignore an initial "moveto". Even \postscript seems to set the origin differently depending on which note the markup goes on (hence two versions of the markup below).

 

Cheers,

Curt

 

\version "2.13.51"

 

\header {

                title = "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

}

 

fishA = \markup {

  \postscript #"0.5 setlinewidth 5 0 moveto -7 6 -10 -7 -0.5 3 rcurveto stroke"

}

 

fishB = \markup {

  \postscript #"0.5 setlinewidth 5 -1 moveto -7 6 -10 -7 -0.5 3 rcurveto stroke"

}

 

rh = \relative c' {

                \time 2/4 \key c \major \clef treble

                e8 d c-\fishB d e e e4

                d8 d d4 e8 g g4

                e8 d c d e e e e-\fishA

                d d e d c2

                \bar "|."

Robin,  Thank you for clear the undesired background. I do hope I can do this in \path command.
