Dear list, I have a text on a multibar rest, like this: R1*8^"Verse 1" The text appears centred on the rest. But I would like it aligned to the left, to indicate that it refers to the beginning of the rest. I've tried the following, but they didn't make any difference:
R1*8^\markup { \hspace #-5 "Verse 1" } \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( -5.0 . 0.0 ) R1*8^\markup { "Verse 1" } Any ideas why these didn't work, and how can I do it?
