Something like that had occurred to me, and for the example as I posted it, it actually works quite well. But in the real thing there is space between the end of the text and the final double bar, and the responsum mark should be at or just before the bar, not immediately after the text. \version "2.16" \layout { indent = 0.0\cm \context { \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver" } \context { \Lyrics \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #left } ragged-last = ##f } response = { \new Staff << \clef treble \new Voice = "antiphon" { \relative f { a'4 b a g a1 \bar ":|" } } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "antiphon" { \set stanza = "℟." This is the re -- sponse. } >> } responsum = \markup{ \bold \fontsize #-1 "℟." } verseOne = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1." "This is the" first \markup{ verse. \responsum } } verseTwo = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2." "This is the" next \markup{ verse. \responsum } } \score { \response \layout { ragged-last = ##t } } sMusic = << \relative f { a'1 g2 a \bar "||" } >> \score { \new Staff << \clef treble \new Voice = "sopranos" { \sMusic } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranos" { \verseOne } >> } \score { \new Staff << \clef treble \new Voice = "sopranos" { \sMusic } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranos" { \verseTwo } >> } I could jam in an hspace before each \responsum, but the length would have to be adjusted manually for each verse, and it doesn't really work even then: the responsum mark never actually gets to the right-hand end, and the rest of the line gets bunched up to the left. I can get the desired _horizontal_ placement by putting \mark \markup{ \responsum } at the end of the music, but no amount of tweaking or realigning seems able to displace this vertically from its position above the staff.
