Well, after some fiddling around with this, this is how it works in the score I
am currently working on with LilyPond 2.7.7 on OSX.
\markup { "" \translate #'(2.0 . 5.0) "foo bar" } => no effect
\markup { " " \translate #'(2.0 . 5.0) "foo bar" } => displaced as intended
In both cases the single white space string can be replaced by \hspace #0.0 .
Same goes for \raise
This is what Mats pointed out in his reply, and I think that the example in
11.2.3, that I used as reference, this should be changed. I assume the same is
true if you define it as a scheme macro in which case this example from 11.2.3
will not work as intended (haven't tried it...):
#(def-markup-command (character layout props name) (string?)
"Print the character name in small caps, translated to the left and
top. Syntax: \\character #\"name\""
(interpret-markup layout props
(markup "" #:translate (cons -3 1) #:smallcaps name)))
Thank you all for the help.
