Re: offset not working

[Kris Shaffer]

I ran into this problem a couple weeks ago.  You can't move text assigned  
to a multirest (or any single full-bar rest produced by "R").  Here's the  
fix:

\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 2.0) %you can use  
padding here, instead if you like
s1*0^\markup {No.1 Lent et douloureux}|
R1*3/4

The downside to this is that you cannot get \fatText to apply the width of  
the text attached to s1*0 to the R1 bar.  But in your case, that should  
not matter.
