You're right of course; I just thought it was worth asking on the off chance
that someone would know right away what I was talking about and I could save
myself the hour or so it would take to construct a "minimal" example.
In the course of doing that I've found one further necessary condition for
the problem to appear: the volta engraver has to be in the Staff context. In
the example below, there should be a line break between first and second
ending at the default line width. The "Mar." appears about even with the top
staff line. If you leave the volta engraver in the Score context, the name
is normally centered.
Of course in the example there is no good reason to move the volta engraver,
but in the actual music there is.
Thanks,
Alan
