Hello Vivyan, The background of the page is white. If you open the file in a normal PDF viewer (not Frescobaldi) you shouldn't be able to see the whiteout.
Here is another solution that doesn't use whiteout: \version "2.19.80" \language "english" \header { title = "XMAS_EVET" tagline = "" % removed } \score { { << \new Staff { \time 4/4 \clef bass \set Staff.instrumentName = #"synth" R1 \stopStaff \textLengthOn s1 -\tweak Y-offset #0 -\markup { \general-align #Y #CENTER "rest for X 16" } \startStaff c4 d e f } >> } } -------------- Dr. Edward Neeman Adjunct Instructor, South Georgia State College Collaborative Pianist, Valdosta State University, Georgia Artist Faculty, ELMS Conservatory, Jakarta edward.nee...@gmail.com www.neemanpianoduo.com On Wed, Jan 17, 2018 at 1:13 PM, Vivyan <joel.ramsbot...@hotmail.co.uk> wrote: > a lot like this, thank you.
