Hi Phill, that mostly works, thank you for your help. However the text
isn't vertically aligned, and the text blocks are too close together.
The documentation mentions 'staff-padding' in regards to the first
issues, but doesn't say how to actually set that. 'Neither
Staff.padding' or 'Text.padding' do anything. 'Script.padding' also
changes the placement of the articulation symbols.
\version "2.18.2"
\header {tagline = ""}
{
\numericTimeSignature
\textLengthOn
\override Text.padding = #3
\time 4/4
a'4\mordent^"Mordent"
a'4\upmordent^"Upper Mordent"
a'4\downmordent^"Lower Mordent"
}
