Hello, Please consider upgrading, version 2.18.2 is over 10 years old. Current stable version (2.24.3) has the \textMark command specifically for such cases, see NR 1.8.1 Text marks https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/writing-text#text-marks Otherwise it is possible to change the alignment of rehearsal mark with \override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #LEFT Kind regards, Xavier
