Hello, I am wanting to shift some \markups nearer to the staff and cannot understand why setting the outside-staff-priority of TextScript is not working in this case.
--- \version "2.13.51" \relative c'' { R1*2 \override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = ##f a'1~-> ^\markup \right-column { \sans "arco" } | a } --- The 'problem' markup is the '->' in that it seems to have a lot of 'boundary' space around it stopping the text from getting nearer. I could move it below the staff but in my real-world example I have two voices and that lower voice already has this mark so it cannot go anywhere but above the staff, anyway I can get what I want with: \version "2.13.51" \relative c'' { R1*2 \override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = ##f a'1~-> -\tweak #'X-offset #-2.5 -\tweak #'Y-offset #6 %% <--- add this line here ^\markup \right-column { \sans "arco" } | a } But that means I will have to go back and 'fiddle' right at the very end, to get where I want once I have finished setting my music - and that assumes I remember to do so! I assumed - because I use outside-staff-priority trick for rehearsal marks a lot - that this would be enough, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I checked in the Learning Manual and does give examples of ^"mytext" as TextScript (rather than just Text) so I think I have the grob right. Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.
