Re: markup text height

[Mats Bengtsson]

The standard method to move objects further away from the stave is to
increase the padding, as described in "Common Tweaks" in the manual.
For example
\override TextScript #'padding = #3.0
to move all text scripts upwards. You can also define a macro like
moveup = \once \override TextScript #'padding = #3.0
that you can use
\moveup d^"Sostenuto"

Another popular trick is
d^" "^"Sostenuto"
but I find that more ugly.
