2008/8/17 Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:A practically relevant example of the use of \hcenter (to be renamed to something else), should rather contain a single markup. Within scores, markups are in principle always used for graphical objects, that do the horizontal alignment themselves, for the full markup. However, for markups at the top level of a file, the alignment point of the markup is placed relative to the left margin of the page, so this is a possibility to actually show what happens (unless lilypond-book plays some tricks within the documentation. So, instead of the current examples, where you may get confused by the use of column, I would rather propose the following example to illustrate the possibilities for horizontal alignment of a single markup. \version "2.11.50" \markup{ Default alignment is left. } \markup{ \left-align Left. } \markup{ \hcenter Center} \markup{ \right-align Right} and make sure to make the point that these commands set the alignment point of the full markup. You also needs a number of bells and whistles to explain why these commands don't have any effect, when used in a TextScript or RehearsalMark or most other situations.I'm afraid this doesn't work too well, Mats; I've tried examples with the second \markup centred or right-aligned, and they both shunt the top markup to the right (see attached images).
Does it move the top markup to the right or the bottom markup to the left? It was my understanding that \hcenter aligned the center of the affected markup with the alignment point.
