One last question,
On Mason's insistence I used the other option
"roman_numeral_analysis_tool". I got it to work, but there were
clashes
with some of my other includes, so I have to make some changes to
avoid
clashes. Anyway that is my problem.
Is there any way to make the half-diminished symbol larger using
\markup \rN {h}
I know I can scale it probably with lilypond tricks, but is there any
built in scaling for the roman_numeral_analysis_tool in the unit ?
Sort of along the LaTeX \large \Large commands that can precede any
symbol.
When using the half-diminished symbol diatonically it is not necessary
to add the Roman Numeral scale-degree and only use the half-diminished
symbol and reduce clutter. In this case, it is microscopic small and
is
seemingly by default scaled for exponent use.
It would be better to have the symbol standard size like the
capitalized
Roman numerals and have a lower case function and then as in LaTeX
once
you use it for an exponent it is scaled to the smaller exponent size.
As is, it is microscopic to use on its own.
So how do I get it to Standard capital Roman Numeral and lower case
numeral size and not by default exponent size as the case is now ?
Hi,
In the annotation style this tool attempts to emulate (any number of
US undergrad theory texts: Kostka & Payne, Clendinning, etc.), the
half-diminished symbol never appears without some sort of
bass-position symbol: "7," "65," etc. I've also never seen it (or the
diminished symbol) as anything but small, whether accompanied by a
Roman numeral or not. Hence its superscript sizing.
In any case, you can magnify it like so (from the README):
"Another way to scale a single numeral would be within the actual
markup command invocation:
\markup \override #'(font-size . 2) \rN { ... }
"
It may be that the tool can be customized to your use, if you provide
a comprehensive example of what you want it to do.
Best,
David
