\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?extra-offset should have worked.
The simple reason that it doesn't work is that textual indications attached to multi-measure rests are controled by the MultiMeasureRestText, not by the TextScript object. So, simply replace TextScript by MultiMeasureRestText in your code. /Mats _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
