Text setting

2005-10-30 Thread Neil Killeen
Hi I am still finding placing text a rather arcane art. I wish to place the initial piece marking "Allegro" right at the beginning of my 4-staff piece. The upper three staves are whole-bar rests rests with notes in the last staff. The syntax R1^\markup{ \fontsize #2.5 { With passion }
