CSS Styling Parts of Lyrics

Open JonathanILevi opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I wish there was a way to put CSS classes around sections of lyrics. I know this is not standardized in the spec, nor can I find anything similar in the spec, so I have no idea how it would be done. But that doesn't stop me from dreaming!

Here is an example. Currently I am doing this with some post modification of the SVG (which happened to have been broken in the last update, so now I have to fix it, anyway...) image Ignore the goofy alignment...that's another issue. But notice the in-line dynamics are made blue and super-scripted.

Other use-cases might be italics, font, etc.

There may be no good way to do this, in which case you can just close this issue, and I'll move on, I won't be offended. (:

In theory, setfont should probably work here. So this doesn't work, but I'll see if I can fix that:

%%setfont-1 Ariel 16 bold
...
(w: la $1la $0la)
