Joe:
Recently I have tried notating music with Lilypond. I have to say
it's been a very frustrating and arduous experience.
Sorry to hear that -- I used Finale for over a decade, Igor Engraver
for several years, and even Sibelius for a little while, but find
Lilypond to be far less frustrating and arduous than those
applications. =)
I would like to know how to move the word "Swing" at the top of my
little
sax transposition chart so that it lines up with the tempo marking.
There are at least a dozen ways I can think of to accomplish what you
are asking -- one would be to use the #'extra-offset feature to
manually move each item to the desired location, e.g.,
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-offset = #'(-0.4 . 2.6)
\mark \markup {\small \bold { Swing }}
\override Score.MetronomeMark #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 3)
\tempo 4=112
This is not necessarily the best way to fix your example, nor would
it be my final recommendation, but it's the one that alters your
original code the least.
Regards,
Kieren.
p.s. For the record, I'd personally put both the tempo and metronome
markings in the same \markup...
