Thank you. That is great - apart from the z-index, which I shall fight.

Hi Raphael,
ISTR a thread a few months back on how to watermark a score, but I cannot now
find it either in my files, in the snippets wiki or with a web search.
My specific case is that I want to print the word DRAFT diagonally, in large,
thick, pale grey letters as an underlay on every page of a score.
Here’s a possible starting point:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.24"
\paper {
ragged-bottom = ##f
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
oddFooterMarkup = \markup \with-dimensions-from \null \translate #'(0 . 75) \rotate
#'45 \abs-fontsize #144 \with-color #(x11-color 'grey88) "DRAFT"
}
{
\repeat unfold 8 { \repeat unfold 8 { c''4 } \break }
\pageBreak
\repeat unfold 8 { \repeat unfold 8 { c''4 } \break }
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Couldn’t quickly determine how to adjust the layer (Z-index) to have it
underlay — hopefully you can figure that part out. :)
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
