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?

Try using a rehearsal mark left-aligned to the preceeding barline:

\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #left
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #0

Stephen
