G'day, FP here. Here's my code: capoVHalf = { %\context { \Score \override RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT } %\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details l X) = #0 %\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right X) = #40 %\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right padding) = #-20 %\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT %\once \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left stencil-align-dir-X) = #LEFT \once \override TextSpanner #'to-barline = ##t \once \override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #0.6 \once \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = \markup { \tiny { "½ Capo V" } } }
It seems I can align around a bar-line, if I just use a text Mark, and can only align the text (rehearsal mark) to a note if I want a spanner line, eg for a guitar Capo marking, with the line extending over the bars that the capo applies to. This is standard notation for guitars. I can right-align the spanner line as seen above ( #'to-barline = ##t) by moving the corresponding \stopTextSpan to _after_ the subsequent note to which it really applies, but at least it looks right. But I can't get the text left aligned to the start of the bar in which it appears; it always aligns around the center of the note to which it follows. Any one know if it's possible to achieve proper Capo notating with lilypond?
