Hello, Consider these two 'contrived' examples
-- \version "2.13.40" \relative c'' { c4 c8 c c4 bes | a2 a \bar "||" \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN \mark \markup { \small \bold \italic "Fine."} f4 f8 f f4 f | g2 g4 g | } \relative c'' { c4 c8 c c4 bes | a2 a \bar "||" \mark #1 f4 f8 f f4 f | g2 g4 g | } -- In the first {} example the 'fine.' is aligned with the bar line and in the second the \mark is also aligned on the same bar line, I'd like to be able to have a single system with the fine. 'text' \mark and a 'rehearsal mark' \mark below and above respectively. I say this example is contrived because this would be a nice *and simple* method (for me anyway) generally to align items without having to worry about \tweaking each time I ever transpose or add more bars/notes. While I realise I could 'tweak' a markup and move it horizontally, the align/break-visibility alignment method is a nice way of aligning to a given bar without trial and error and using \mark 'rehearsal.mark' is very simple. While we have an LSR example http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=10 This uses two staves. Using a << \\ >> construct with just explicit \marks doesn't seem to work, and I wondered if this was possible? I hope that makes sense.
