Re: Not sure how to construct an example--need to mark repeat signs underneath, without wrapping to next line
Oh, I was operating on old/incorrect info on how to do this. That works
perfectly, thanks!

If I understand correctly, you're seeking to literally print digits like “1”
and “3” under the rhythmic staff. Is that right?
Naked digits are LilyPond's syntax for durations. LilyPond gives errors
messages like
```
/tmp/frescobaldi-p_ajfnr0/tmp277_r7m5/document.ly:7:41: error: not a duration
\new Lyrics { \lyricsto "melody" { 1
3 3 3 } }
```
on your code because it tries to interpret "3" as a duration, while only "1",
"2", "4", "8" (plus dotted durations etc.) are valid. If you want them
literally, you need to quote them, as in
```
\version "2.24.1"
<<
\new RhythmicStaff \with { \remove "Staff_symbol_engraver" \remove
"Clef_engraver" \remove "Time_signature_engraver"} {
\new Voice = "melody" { \relative { c8 c4. c8 c8 } }
}
\new Lyrics { \lyricsto "melody" { "1" "3" "3" "3" } }
>>
```
Also note that you should use `<< >>`, not `{ }`, around the `\new
RhythmicStaff` and `\new Lyrics` commands, since `{ }` is the syntax for
putting expressions in sequence, and you want the lyrics at the same time as
the melody, not after the melody has ended.

lyrics on rhythmicstaff?
I'm trying to set 'lyrics' (chords which do not match lilypond's
interpretation of the notes) to notes on a RhythmicStaff, but I'm not
seeing the lyrics.
I thought maybe it was the rhythmicstaff that didn't like lyrics, but
perhaps they need to be in a score? This is inside a snippet set inside a
latex fbox.
The notes print as expected, and the example seems to follow the docs
except for the score. Do lyrics need to be inside a score? Did I miss
something else?
\lilypond[noindent, nofragment]{
\new RhythmicStaff \with { \remove "Staff_symbol_engraver" \remove
"Clef_engraver" \remove "Time_signature_engraver"} {
\new Voice = "melody" { \relative { c8 c4. c8 c8 } }
}
\new Lyrics { \lyricsto "melody" { 1 3 3 3 } }
}

Re: Not sure how to construct an example--need to mark repeat signs underneath, without wrapping to next line
You could also use \jump, for example
\version "2.24.1"
\repeat volta 2 {
c'1 1 1 1
\jump "4×"
}

For example:
```
\version "2.24.1"
\repeat volta 2 {
c'1 1 1 1
\tweak direction #DOWN \textEndMark "4×"
}
```
See
[https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/writing-text.html#text-marks](https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/writing-text.html#text-marks)
For a mark at the beginning of the line, you'd use `\textMark` instead of
`\textEndMark`.
Note that you could also use `\tweak break-visibility #begin-of-line-invisible
\mark "4×"` instead of `\textEndMark "4×"`, but using `\mark` for a textual
mark has shortcomings, and it is discouraged starting from version 2.24 in
favor of `\textMark` and `\textEndMark`. It's only being kept for
compatibility. (This is only about `\mark `; `\mark \default` is still
recommended for a rehearsal mark.)

Not sure how to construct an example--need to mark repeat signs underneath, without wrapping to next line
I'm not quite sure how to construct an example--I'm working on my scoring for rock/funk band, and I have everything under control due to the great help I've received here. One final sticking point is that I like to mark repeat signs underneath with a "2x" or "4x". I've been using tweaked \marks: \tweak direction #DOWN \mark "4x" Problem is, if the closing repeat mark is at the end of a line of music as it decides to typeset it, this text appears at the beginning of the next line instead of at the ending repeat barline where I want it. I'm guessing that this is not the best way to mark a bar, and I'm not finding the right terminology/concepts to search for what I want on my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can see the score and parts and lilypond here: https://files.bobpat.band/s/Mdf5KaYtH5kScSe Pardon my part writing errors and such, still polishing that up in the horn parts. Look for a separate "part" in the includes/parts.ly file, which gets added as an invisible staff to the score and parts main .ly files in the root folder. I'm including some Lilypond scheme files created for me by this list but they shouldn't be part of this issue. Thanks in advance.
Re: How to place a TextScript in the middle of the Staff?
\override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f If you don't turn off outside-staff-priority, it will try to prevent the collision, moving the text script out of the staff. Thanks, that was the secret ingredient...I knew it had to be something simple :) Kind regards, Michael -- Michael Gerdau email: m...@qata.de GPG-keys available on request or at public keyserver

How to place a TextScript in the middle of the Staff?
Hi list!
I'm trying to place an articulation right in the middle of the Staff and
I seem to lack the proper incantation. When I increase Y-offset to e.g.
#3 the little "z" is printed above the Staff. I want it to appear at
about the gis position on top of the stem. What do I have to adjust to
make it work?
\version "2.25.2"
music = \relative d' {
\override TextScript.Y-offset=#2
\override TextScript.X-offset=#0.5
d2_\markup { \musicglyph "z" }\repeatTie r2
}
\score {
\music
}
Kind regards,
Michael
