Since this is exactly how 'extra-offset is supposed to work: no bug. Abraham already mentioned better alternative commands. In general: you can't go wrong regarding 'extra-offset as a last, last resort. I _always_ try to avoid it. > > All of that having been said, is there a way to move the text along with the > notes?

Ofcourse a minimal example including the lily-version, showing the problem is always conditio sine qua non.
