Hi Giles,

The \mark command is centred. Can text be formatted to be left aligned (and smaller)? Is there an initialisation parameter I can change to set its default alignment?

I can’t test what v2.18 does (that’s a very old version!), but 2.25.11 essentially** left-aligns the mark:

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.11"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override RehearsalMark.font-size = #1
    \override RehearsalMark.padding = #2.5
  }
}

In addition to Kieren's comments, you can set the object that the rehearsal mark aligns to. For example, to align to the left edge of the system:

\override RehearsalMark.break-align-symbols = #'(left-edge)

The list of objects (or break-align symbols) you can align against is here: https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/internals/break_002dalignment_002dinterface
