Hey Andrew,

My instinct was wrong. Whatever alignment mismatch is causing #579 doesn't
look to be the cause of the spanner alignment problem I just uncovered
today. Here's why:


\version "2.11.39"

\paper { ragged-right = ##t indent = 0}

timeAlign = {
      \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #-1
      \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbols =
          #'(time-signature)
      \once \override Staff.TimeSignature
          #'break-align-anchor-alignment = #LEFT
}

larghetto = {\timeAlign \mark \markup Larghetto }


\new Staff { \larghetto c'1}

<<
    \new Staff { \larghetto c'1}
    \new Staff { c'1 }
>>

<<
    \new Staff { \larghetto c'1}
    \new Staff { c'1 }
    \new Staff {
    \once \override TextScript #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
      c'1 _ \markup { "FAT TEXT" } }
>>


From which we don't see any additional tempo indication displacement; in the
case of spanner displacement, we definitely *do* see additional displacement
with the inclusion of such a markup.

So, independent issues, I think ...
