Re: String numbers

[José Luis Cruz]

If you know how to do place normal text below the notes, the rest is
easy.

Just use Latex/TEX commands (by using \) instead of the text. e.g.

If the tex command is \small you must type \\small ok? Let's see a
practical example:


%% It places under the note, a tiny 1 size
ces_\markup {"\\tiny{1}"}

%% The same, but with a circle around it
ces^\markup {"\\textcircled{\\tiny 1}"} 


I prefer using \textcircled{} because this way i can put inside of it
whatever i want. Not only numbers.

But there are also predefined commands for printing circled numbers
from 1 to 9 in 4 different styles. These are from pifont library and
the commands are \ding{172} (...) until... \ding{211}

Search Latex guides in Internet, if you are interested in the
possibilities. Or at least look for the Comprehensive Latex Symbol
List, it shows a big list of the most common symbols you can use in
Latex,(and in Lilypond, so then) ;)

regrets,

JoséLuis
