Greetings,

Things were going too smoothly, so I had to try to get subtle, and
here I am, back bothering the list for help again.  Sigh.

I have seen Rainer Dunker's example of ossia processing at
<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00532.html>, and
I tried to follow it for making words expand according to the
looseness of the typeset score.  Hovever, as I debug my code, it looks
to me like \lin@pos advances only once per measure.  Is there a way I
can retrieve the horizontal position of a chord within a measure?

For the terminally curious, I am trying to typeset the word
"ri-tar-dan-do" in the piano part at the end of
<http://imslp.org/wiki/Andante_con_moto,_EG_116_%28Grieg,_Edvard%29>,
where Grieg writes the word spread out from the eleventh 16-th note of
measure 136 to the end of measure 136.  Of course, I shall have
eventually to deal with the possibility of a system break within such
a word, but I am willing to leave that subtlety for another day.

Thank you for your attention,
Terry.
