lyluatex: inline vertical alignment of

[Malte Meyn]

Hi list,

the lyluatex manual 
(https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex/releases/download/v1.0-beta/lyluatex.pdf) 
says at p. 8 about vertical alignment of inline snippets:

“Note: The alignment works with the edges of the image file, there is no 
notion of an ‘optical’ center or aligning with the staff lines.”

Would it be possible to get such an alignment and how hard would that be 
to achieve?

The reason why I’m asking: I made a markup command that takes a string 
like "/DD-7-9>_5>" and makes a nice functional analysis symbol from 
that. I would like to use these symbols also in the text in my LaTeX 
document without having to code an extra solution for LaTeX. But the 
baseline of the text in LaTeX and the baseline of the LilyPond markup 
don’t match. Using a simple offset wouldn’t be enough because the 
symbols don’t always extend down the same amount.

Any ideas, hints or solutions? I would be willing to contribute to a 
possible lyluatex feature.

Cheers,
Malte
