Embedding native PostScript in a \markup block: Difference between revisions

@@ Line 1: / Line 1: @@
 PostScript code can be directly inserted inside a <code>\markup</code> block.
+For technical reasons, this doesn't show up in the Wiki because <code>\postscript</code> only works with LilyPond's PS backend and is neither supported in the SVG (used in this Wiki) or the Cairo backend.
+In general it is recommended to use LilyPond's native graphical markup commands like <code>\polygon</code> instead, which can be used with all LilyPond backends.
