Re: Footnotes in Lyrics

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Johannes,

Here's a little hack:

\markup \footnote \null "(1) footnote text"

\score { <<
  { a' b' c'' d'' c'' b' a' }
  \addlyrics {
     One two  
     \markup \concat { three \raise #.7 \teeny (1) }  
     four five six se -- ven
  }
  >>
}

HTH, Cheers,

Pierre

Hi Group and a Happy 2023!

I have trouble using footnotes in lyrics (lyrics directly in the score.. not below...) - I got rid of the annotation line successfully - but the position of the footnote number is terrible - and the tweaks are not "small" enough to find a good position.

\version "2.24.0"
\score { <<
{ a' b' c'' d'' c'' b' a' }
\addlyrics {
  \override Footnote.annotation-line = ##f
 One two three
\footnote #'(0.1 . 0.1) "footnote text" LyricText
five six se -- ven
 four
}
>>
}

Am I on a complete wrong way in handling this? It doesn't seem like a very rare idea to have footnotes in lyrics...

Best regards
