Hi Brin,

\markup { \box "some text" }

Looking at it as it renders in 2.26.0, the box is a little close to the text for my taste. In the markup appendix of the notation manual (https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.26/Documentation/notation/text-markup-commands), I can see that inside a \markup block, it's possible to override box-padding to adjust this property. My question: Is there a way to do this globally for the entire score at once? There are dozens of these boxed items in the score I'm working on, and it would be a real pain to go in and adjust each one individually.

You can do:

\paper {
  property-defaults.box-padding = 2
}

I'm not really sure whether this is documented clearly enough.

Lukas
