Re: Adjusting bar length

[Mats Bengtsson]

As long as you only have text markups attached to notes, read in
Section "8.1.1 Text scripts" on how to use \fatText. If you want
more spacing, you can use something like
\override TextScript #'extra-X-extent = #'(-0.5  .  0.5)

For \mark, I don't know the answer from the top of my head.
