> The first is at the beginning contrabass part Actually, there's plenty of room above the contrabass staff, if you keep the text there as two lines. Below the staff, you have plenty of room to make it one line.
> The second is at bar 5, tamtam part For the Tamtam part, you have pelnty of room to make it one line, but I would recommend putting it above the staff and right-aligning it so that all the text comes before the music starts (there's plenty of room there too), like this: ^\markup \general-align #X #RIGHT "Scrape the surface..." In general, I'm pretty sure it's conventional to place such technical instructions (as both examples here) above the staff, not below. I could be wrong, though. Still, it's incredible what LilyPond allows visually-impaired users to do. I'm astounded. The score looks beautiful! - Mark _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
