... The second example can easily be modified to get what you want. Just add \fatText before the first spacer note.
/Mats \fatText has now been replaced (V2.12.0) with \textLengthOn But it doesn't solve the problem completely I have a multi-voice orchestral piece, needing tempo markings at various points through the score, so I have put these in a separate voice containing spacer rests, which is then combined with each of the instruments in turn to print out their parts. If the instrument has a multi-measure rest coinciding with the tempo marking, then everything works fine. But if the instrument has notes, these are spaced out unacceptably. See below. I can't use textLengthOn and Off in the 'tempos' voice, because some instruments will be playing at a particular point, while others will not be. Is there some way to have \textLengthOn apply only to multi-measure rests ? And it would be good if I could get the rehearsal marks all printed at the same vertical height as well \version "2.12.0" notes = \relative c'' { R1*3/4*3 c2. d2. e 2.
