Re: issue regarding adding text markup

[Mats Bengtsson]

This is actually described in the manual, see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Multi-measure-rests.html
You may want to use the \center or \column text markup commands to
print the number on its own line above or below the remaining text.
Alternatively, you could do something like
R2.*28^\markup{ 28 } _\markup {DC al coda }
