Hi. In a large choral score I'd like to write a ritardando that appears only in the top of the entire system (together with \tempo markings) - without having to define the ritardando in the topmost staff. The voices in the top staffgroup have no music (just a long series of rests) where the

Hi Mike (et al.), What would be involved in developing a feature to add notes or tweaks at an arbitrary moment within a music expression? music = \addAt (4 3/8) \global \once \override RehearsalMark.extra-offset #’(-1 . 0) we’re about a half-day’s work away from a hack that doesn’t

Fixed (absolute) line spacing in markup column

I need to define a multi-line tagline for our Mutopia Project scores.  The scores can have user-defined values for global staff size, but the tagline needs to be a fixed-fontsize markup block that doesn't scale with staff size. One can set an absolute fontsize for markup, but I don't know of a
