I am typesetting a horn part from a piano concerto, and I'm having difficulty with the "Cadenza" rests in the piece. What I would like is a rest in the staff—it can be a 4-beat rest, like r1, a full- measure rest, like R1, or a long multi-measure rest, with the horizontal bar; I don't really care which kind. Above that, center- aligned, should be a fermata, and aligned above that, the word "Cadenza".You should definitely use R1^\markup{...} One method to get the horizontal size the way you want it is to manually specify the width, such as \override MultiMeasureRest #'minimum-length = #10 I couldn't find any method to let LilyPond figure out the width automatically.
Thanks a lot, Mats! This worked great for me:
cadenzaTwoBeats = {
\once \override MultiMeasureRest #'minimum-length = #9
R2^\markup{ \override #'(baseline-skip . 2) \center-align
{ \italic Cadenza \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" } }
}
cadenzaFourBeats = {
\once \override MultiMeasureRest #'minimum-length = #9
R1^\markup{ \override #'(baseline-skip . 2) \center-align
{ \italic Cadenza \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" } }
