Re: Volta + rehearsal mark?

[Markus Schneider]

Hi Stewart,

you have to use the "\once \overide..." _right_ before your "\mark ..." - no
other notes, rests etc. in between.

This applies to "\once" in general. The "\once \override..." has to (wants
to) change something right after, if there's nothing to apply to (e.g.
Notehead, Stem, TextScript, Script, RehearsalMark, whatever...), it will be
wasted. In your case, the "\once \override..." will _not_ be preserved until
the next occurrence of a rehearsal mark. I read about this somewhere so I
think this is by design.

Example:

This will work...
  a1
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
  \mark \markup { "Markup" }  |

... this won't!
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
  a1
  \mark \markup { "Markup" }  |

I attach a example file you may find useful with some functions and
variables I use regarding volta bracket / rehearsal mark placement.

Cheers,
Markus
