Hi Cameron, > I'd like measure 4 to be wide enough to accomodate the "Allegro non troppo" > tempo marking without it being pushed above the volta bracket
Maybe something like this? %%% SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.24.4" tempoTextLengthOn = { \override Score.MetronomeMark.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 1) \override Score.MetronomeMark.extra-spacing-height = #'(-inf.0 . +inf.0) } tempoTextLengthOff = { \override Score.MetronomeMark.extra-spacing-width = #'(+inf.0 . -inf.0) \override Score.MetronomeMark.extra-spacing-height = #'(0 . 0) } \fixed c'' { \repeat volta 2 { c1 | \tempoTextLengthOn \mark \default \tempo "Largo" d | e | \tempo "Allegro non troppo" f | \alternative { \volta 1 { b, } \volta 2 { c } } } \bar "||" \mark \default d | e | \mark \default \sectionLabel "Trio" e | } %%% SNIPPET ENDS > the volta bracket should also be shortened to make room > for rehearsal letter B, and the "Trio" section label should be > pushed to the right of rehearsal letter C instead of below it. > Is it possible to do this in Lilypond? “In Lilypond, all things are possible.™” Hope this helps!
