My usual bugbear ... :-(
I have a couple of instances where I have a rehearsal mark, a tempo
mark, and a tune name all wanting to be over the same barline (this is
an arrangement, where there are several tunes and each is identified
where it occurs).
So I have something along the lines of
<<
{ s1 | \mark \default \tempo "poco allegretto" s1^\markup "This is the
army mr jones" s1*7 }
{ c1 | R1*2 }
>>
However, the two "s1"s are causing the R1*2 to print as two separate
bars :-( I'm also getting
warning: MultiMeasureRestText has empty extent and non-empty stencil.
in the log, which I guess is related. Any ideas how to get the rest to
print as a multi-measure rest? The problem, from my pov, is that the
first, markup, line is meant to be shared across multiple parts, so if I
do s1*8^\markup, the text is centred over the 8-bar phrase or some other
wrongness, although that fixes the multi-measure-rest problem.
The other problem I have, is is there any way I can shunt markup left or
right (both tempo and text)? I've been using extra-spacing-width, which
works a treat sometimes, and is dreadful elsewhere. It's been fine for
rehearsal marks, but when I use it on tempo and text, it's been shoving
the music out of the way, which then looks awful. I just want to push
the text slightly to the right to avoid colliding with the rehearsal
mark (and I have tried extra-spacing-width leaving one or other argument
at its default +-infinity, and again it seems to work sometimes and be a
nightmare elsewhere ...) All the horizontal adjustment stuff I've seen
seems to be for in-staff objects like lines, noteheads, accidentals ...
will they work on markups?
Pointers greatly appreciated ...
Cheers,
Wol
