\override LyricText #'font-series = #'bold \override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic Much more practical: to change the change the font shape (italics) or font series (weight), use the following lines of code. That particular thing would be odd to do, but I can come up with some scenarios where it might be worthwhile.Ĥ. So if I defined my default serif font as Baskerville and my default sans serif font as Palatino, and put the above code in my text for the first stanza, then that stanza would be Palatino and all the others would be Baskerville. NOTE: There is nothing that says you have to have an sans serif font as your default Llilypond sans serif font. \override LyricText #'font-family = #'typewriter \override LyricText #'font-family = #'sans
\override LyricText #'font-family = #'serif (Usually unnecessary because this is default for lyrics.) To change the font-family for one verse, add one of the following to your lyrics block: So here is what my whole paper block looks like (note I have also customized the width of the staff):ģ. Replace these names with the system names of your preferred font. The three fonts to list, in order are your default serif (Baskerville for me), sans serif (Gill sans), and monospaced (Luxi Mono). To change your default fonts, add the following code to your paper block: Lilypond controls default fonts with the Pango library. If anyone has an explanation or workaround for this phenomenon, please share it!Ģ. For instance, Garamond was not available to Lilypond on my system, but Baskerville (my backup) was. I found out after much frustrated experimenting with the steps below that not all fonts on the system were available to Lilypond. Then do CTRL+F (or command+F) and search for the font name. You can do that with the following terminal command:
First, check to make sure that the font you want to use is available to Lilypond. Here is what you can do to change the default serif, sans serif, and monospace fonts for your Lilypond document.ġ. I am not crazy about the default Lilypond serif font (New Century Schoolbook). If it is already covered better somewhere else, please share the discussion link. Since I have had to do some research and experimenting on this, I thought I would share the results in case it would be helpful to anyone else.
