Unequal spacing in odd-n tuplet with other simultaneous subdivisions

My nice LP moment today

Earlier today, I was at my school recording the erhu part for a new piece. My colleague had the printed score (Music engraving by Lilypond 2.16.1) in his lap. At one moment, when I stood up for some water, I sat back down and, for a split second, thought Hm, I wonder what music book he's brought?

How should one use mdash; in a markup block? This isn't right. I tried a few variants as well. All replicate the text mdash; instead of inserting the symbol. \markup a mdash; dash hjh ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org
