Brother,

Here is a question I posted on Tex Stack Exchange:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/231130/how-to-specify-the-space-left-of-a-table

egreg mentioned about the macros - that works nice.

Still, InDesign is soooo much easier.

I decided to try and play with something to achieve this effect and got something that sort of works.

Basically I tried including the gabc score within a tabbing environment, adding the tabbing declarations to the score, and then using them to line up the text below. It doesn't completely work. Each tab stop is defined twice (necessitating \>\> in the text where one would expect \>) and it latex to raise some errors to appear in the typesetting the score, but they appear to be ignorable, as I get some results that aren't bad.

I'm not sure this is the best solution, but it does require far less fiddling with distances. Check out the attached to see what I've got.

The best solution would probably be to develop a macro which would calculate how far it is from the left margin (or edge of the paper, either would do) and create a distance storing that value. This macro could then be placed in the gabc where you wanted the alignment points to be. Judicious use of a \kill line in a tabbing environment could then employ those distances to define tab stops at the right positions. In this fashion, the score wouldn't be inside a tabbing environment (something which appears to be somewhat problematic).
