mark direction

[Daniel Barna]

Hi

According to the documentation and some messages on the mailing list, the
following piece of code should produce a rehersal mark "A" above the
staff, and another mark "B" below the staff (if I understood it
correctly). For me both marks are above the staff. Can anyone explain me,
how to reach the desired effect? Is it possible to specify the horizontal
alignment of marks? (like left-aligned at the given position). I failed to
produce any change in the horizontal position of marks.

\score {
\notes\relative c'{
\mark "A" c d
\property Score.RehersalMark \override #'direction = #-1
\mark "B" e f
}
\paper{}
}


A similar problem: Jan suggested in a previous mail, that the
right-alignment of text scripts could be done in the following way.
This also doesn't seem to work for me: whatever I do, the script is always
left-aligned.

\score {
   \notes\relative c'' {
    a
    \fatText
    a \property Staff.TextScript \override #'self-alignment-X = #1
    a_"some text"
    a
   }
   \paper {
     linewidth = -1.
   }
}


I am using version  1.3.150

Thank you
Daniel
