Slanted parentheses around dynamics: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

~~Although the~~ easiest way to ~~add parentheses to a dynamic mark~~ is to use a <code>\~~markup~~</code> ~~block, this method has a downside:~~ the ~~created objects will behave like text markups~~, ~~and not like dynamics~~.

The easiest way to parenthesize dynamics is to use the normal <code>\parenthesize</code> command and adjust the font size, e.g., <code>{ c'4\tweak Parentheses.font-size 2 \parenthesize \f }</code>. However, this results in upright parentheses, while dynamic marks are normally slanted. This snippet gives a method to make the parentheses slanted as well.

~~However~~, ~~it is possible to create a similar object using the equivalent Scheme code (as described in the Notation Reference), combined with the~~ <code>~~make~~-~~dynamic-script~~</code> ~~function~~. This ~~way,~~ the ~~markup will be regarded~~ as ~~a dynamic, and therefore will remain compatible with commands such as <code>\dynamicUp</code> or <code>\dynamicDown</code>~~.
