was markup/padding but now tremolo and that markup/padding with blank extra measures

[Jay Hamilton, Sound and Silence]

Hello-
The solutions so far have produced very odd results.
Mostly in the form of extra blank measures for the markup words. 
Plus the :8 for crosses on the stems does not seem to be working and 
producing the 'partial' measure effect which is very confusing.

here's the whole file

\version "2.6.0"
\header {
 title = "Oud 129-132"
subtitle = "G major, arpeggio, andantino, Moderato"

 copyright = "For study purposes only"

}
melody = \relative c'
{
\clef treble
\key g \major
#(set-global-staff-size 20)
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'()

Thanks for the help.
