Dear LilyPond-users, after hours of research I decided to ask you the
following:

- How do I add text which is aligned with certain barlines? This is quite
common for  percussion notation to indicate which line represents which
(part of an) instrument. In my case: which part of a gong to strike.

*%%%%%%%% EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%*
*\version "2.14.2"  *
*
*
*gong = \new Voice {*
*
*
*  \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup\center-column{"Wind " "Gong "} *
*  \clef percussion *
*  \autoBeamOff*
*
*
*\relative c' {*
* *
*  \override Staff.NoteHead  #'style = #'cross*
*  \override Stem #'stemlet-length = #0.75*
* *
*  #(define mylines '(-4 0 4))*
*  \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #mylines*
*  *
*
*
*R1*2 | *
*\times 2/3{ d8\ppp^"soft mallets (s.m.)"[ e r] }   \times 2/3 { r8[ r d\>]
}   **\times 2/3 { r8[ e8. f16\pppp] }   r4 |** *
*R1 |*
*\break*
*
*
*}}*
*
*
*\score {\new Staff <<\gong>>}*
*%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*


I tried doing

*\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup\right-column{"Wind   e." " Gong   m."
" c."} *

but I find this output rather unsatisfying. I can imagine there are more
elegant ways to do this. Any help would be awesome. Thank you!

Kind regards,
Gagi

PS If somebody also can help me with making the whole rests look more
clear: how do I add the horizontal line (see wholerest.png) on top of it?
I would appreciate it a lot!
