Yes, I'm aware of that workaround. I'm trying to use it now, but the results are rather less-than-satisfactory.
Including a time on the 's' separates the measure with the textscript from the rest of the multi-measure rest. < R1*18 s1_"Allegro" > Omitting the time on the 's' makes the textscript appear under the entire multi-measure rest, which is exactly what is wanted. However it can also cause very severe horizontal spacing problems, beginning on the line of the rest, and continuing to the end of the score. (I can send an example of this, if anyone is interested.) < R1*18 s_"Allegro" > So I wonder why the effort to add textscripts to multi-measures rests if they only work with single-measure multi-measure rests, and the < R s > workaround already provides more (although somewhat flawed) funtionality? ~ John Williams On Sat, 29 Mar 2003, Graham Percival wrote: > On Sat, 29 Mar 2003 13:13:17 -0700 (MST) > John Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > How to I attach text markup to long multi-measure rests? > > You do a quick search in the mailist archives, at: > http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/ > > and find this thread: > http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2002-11/msg00155.html > > - Graham > _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
