However, you can increase the padding property yourself with \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #2.0 In your example: \version "2.10.20" \header { title = "High School of Cello Playing" subtitle = "40 Etudes" subsubtitle = "No. 1" composer = "David Popper" opus = "Op. 73" } \relative c { \clef bass \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbol = #'key-signature \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #2.0 \mark \markup{\bold "Allegro molto moderato." } \time 12/8 c8-. c'-. b-. a-. c-. g-. f-. a-. e-. d-. f-. c-. b-. d'-. c-. b-. d-. a-. g-. b-. f-. e-. g-. d-. } Zoltán _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
