Thanks Knut for your code.
Though, this snippet will produce bad output as soon as something like
a key-change happens at the line-break.
Doing nothing more than an TextScript.extra-offset is at least easier
adjustable.

But it's still the fact said LSR-snippet demonstrates nothing more
than how to use 'extra-offset.

In general we have no good method how to insert Text at the right of a
score apart from using the score-markup-command. In a markup we could
ofcourse use multiple columns, etc, but the score-markup or
score-lines-markup-list-command is expensive and comes along with
other problems.
I wouldn't recommend to use it for large, multiple-pages scores.

So I still tend to delete the LSR-snippet. I'll wait a few days,
though, waiting for further thoughts on this topic.

Cheers,
  Harm
