Custom formatting for annotations #831

Open alensiljak opened 2 years ago

alensiljak commented 2 years ago

I am using annotations a lot for almost all the text on the sheets, within the score - lyrics, instrument changes, riterdando marks, bar numbers, etc.

Currently, all the annotations are formatted the same. Considering the different purposes of each type of annotation, it would be great to be able to customize the font used for them.

Ideally, it would be possible to define a style, including:

and apply to annotation text within the quotes in the score section of the sheet.

Reference: Section 11.4.2 Font directives

The %%setfont-n + $n-syntax does not seem to work with annotations at the moment.

Just wanted to resurrect this.
There is the %%annotationfont directive but I can't seem to get that to work.

Did you find a solution to this?

Did you find a solution to this?

Yes and no. :) No with abc but yes with MuseScore or Lilypond, depending on the context/project. Horses for courses.

Okay. I'm thinking maybe there's a way to add a custom class to the <tspan> in the afterParsing function. This way we could parse for something like"{{italic}}pizz", remove the "{{italic}}" and give the tspan an .abcjs-italic class and control it in css.

If you put this in the header you can change the annotations globally:

%%annotationfont italic 16

But it sounds like you want to change them on the fly. The following will work with the %%text and the W: field:

%%setfont-1 italic 16
%%text some text $1in italic $0 and regular
W: some text $1in italic $0 and regular

But not in annotations. I am planning a small release for this week and I'll see if I can get the following to work:

"^some text $1in italic $0 and regular"A4

That's what you are looking for, right?

Yes that is what I’m looking for! It would also be nice to be able to pass the setfonts into the abcjsParams, but I could always append it to the header in after parsing

That's a good idea.
