Re: Double-underline markup

[Andrew Bernard]

I have not seen anything get added to lilypond proper for a long time. I may be wrong, but it's immensely difficult to get changes to core it would seem. Fair enough too. That's why openlilylib exists.

But in fact, while I think this is neat code, I personally strongly disapprove of underlining, single or double, being a dreary minded classical typographer myself, and underlining is generally frowned upon anyway in fine printing (maybe music is not fine printing?) So I would not actually want to see this encouraged, even though I can see people have uses for it.

cheerio!

Why not add it to lilypond proper?  I think that we would want to be careful about property names (perhaps with an underline-details property to minimize namespace pollution), but I think it would make a great addition to Lilypond.

Please go ahead Andrew. In OLL this should be a submodule below oll-misc.text.

Now this is great. I can volunteer to put this in Openlilylib if all you authors do not object. Perhaps somebody can make and LSR snippet also. I personally find OLL much more convenient. but I accept arguments in favour of LSR also. Can go in both.
