Hello
I am trying to offset my markup text above the staff by a horizontal
quantity. I can't seem to do so. I have tried
%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
r8^\markup{\tweak #'X-offset #1.5\huge"tempo I"} r8 r2.
%%%%%%%%%
but that results in a syntax error.
Try this instead:
\markup { \hspace #1.5 \huge “tempo I” }
Be aware that \hspace only changes the effective width of the markup, so
whether it moves the text depends on the alignment with the notes. When
the text is centered, the text would move to the right but by half the
amount you specify. If the markup is right-aligned, then \hspace would
have no effect on the placement of the text.
For more precise control, consider the following markup:
%%%%
\markup \translate #'(1.5 0) \huge "tempo I"
%%%%
Note that you need the offset to be relative to the font size, use
\translate-scaled instead.
