Re: raise and translate at beginning of markup (again)

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please always specify what Lilypond version you are using.

As you have noted, \raise only works within a specific markup,
the distance from the full markup to the note or staff is
determined by the property padding. Thus, you can do
\property Staff.Textscript \override #'padding = #1.5
(default is 0.5 and all distances are specified in multiples of
the spacing between two staff lines).
If you only want to change the setting for a specific markup,
say \once \property ...

I'll let others explain what happens with raise -2
