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 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 is regarded~~ as ~~a dynamic and therefore remains compatible with commands such as <code>\dynamicUp</code> or <code>\dynamicDown</code>~~.

~~Another way to do parenthesize dynamics is to use the <code>\parenthesize</code> command, although this way doesn't give you the fine-tuning of the dynamic text.~~
