Probably because the underlying code makes it very tricky. > > If the answer to that question really is "yes", then perhaps we could > have an additional grob or 2 which have the same characteristics as the > existing one(s) but without the restriction on numbers. E.g. could we > have a TextMark grob in addition to RehearsalMark? Kieran put in a lot of effort iirc to add all this extra stuff. I remember things from long ago when it was "one mark per barline" and, because I think RehearsalMark resolved to an ordinary mark you couldn't even put a rehearsal mark on the same barline as an ordinary mark. That even that took so long to appear implies it was NOT simple. I suspect if Kieran could have just stacked marks he would have done. He might chime in and tell us. If you want to look at how a tempo mark is implemented you might be able to do it for yourself :-) That said, I wanted to do it and just couldn't get to grips with it :-) But I think if you want multiple marks the obvious solution is to stack them in a column.
