Re: offset not working

[Kris Shaffer]

Is ly/property-init.ly online somewhere?  I can't find a lilypond-doc  
package for Mac OS X, and I don't have any lilypond stuff in /usr/share/.

In the meantime, I tried \override MultiMeasureRestText #'no-spacing-rods  
= ##f in place of \fatText, but it did not work.  I also found in the  
program reference online that, though TextScript takes #'no-spacing-rods,  
MultiMeasureRestText does not.  Did I miss anything, or would this feature  
need to be added?
