Hi Wol (et al.), > No. I just view a markup block as exactly that - a block.
The problem is, given enough horizontal offset, eventually the reader can't tell what's part of the original block and what's a new chunk [based over a new moment]. Vertical stacking doesn't have that potential ambiguity. > a tempo mark always belongs *after* a rehearsal mark if they collide In my opinion, a tempo mark belongs exactly over the moment it affects, and all other marks need to move (horizontally, vertically, or both) around it. > tempi and tune names should work well together with rehearsal marks. Agreed. > It just seems to me that whenever I need them together > I end up fighting lily to get a good-looking solution You could write a [single] function which gracefully handles all possible combinations, according to your preference(s)… =) > Yes, I know, I'm a grumpy old man :-) Well, then… there's that. ;) Cheers, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
