I have repetitive notes: c8 c c c c c c c c c c c | This type of repetition is found throughout my piece. I'm trying to hide the second-through-fourth beats of notes, and have a "..." in its place, IN the staff. No matter how much I \raise the markup, it never enters the staff. How can I force this collision? Here is an image describing what I want and am actually getting (I also can't quite position the lyrics and "repeat throught" text as tightly as I want): http://jeffyepstein.com/tmp/staff_collision_question.gif And following is the LY code that created the bottom version.
