Hello all,
Please consider the snippet included below this email.
1. Is there a better way to “hang indent” the stage-direction, so that the left
parenthesis sits a little to the left of the “left margin” of the text? I
played around with \halign and \hspace until I was blue in the face…
2. What would be the best way to get all the texts on a single system to be top
aligned?
3. Is there a[n easy] way to make this whole (e.g.) three-column blob a spanner
that would automatically sit “centered” over (e.g.) two measures, without
affecting the underlying “note spacing”? I would love a function where I could
specify a number of measures — which might or might not be only rests (like
these) — and have the block of text columns place itself accordingly.
Thanks!
Kieren.
