Measure markup

2008-10-30 Thread Cordilow
I'm wondering if it's possible to do text markup relative to a measure bar instead of to a note. I'm wondering this because this is approximately* where the hymn-style piano introduction brackets (i.e. kind of like these characters, ⌜ and ⌝, only thinner and larger) are supposed to go, and it's

Hi Friedrich, Why is the distance between the first two 1/16 notes right in the first bar and too wide in the second? I don't know, but if you override the l.v. tie so that it takes up no horizontal space, the rest of the notes will flow evenly — see attached fix. [p.s. You should also
