Re: Text *not* attached to note ?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Of course! The trick is to use a simultaneous line of
invisible notes that you can attach the text to. Just make
sure to keep them in the same Voice context as the actual music,
otherwise you might get collisions between note heads and text.
Example:

mymusic = \notes \relative c' {\repeat unfold 5 {c d e f}}
myannotations = \notes{ s1^"First bar" | s1*2 | s1^"Fourth bar" |}

\score{
  \new Voice <<
    \mymusic
    \myannotations
  >>
}
