Re: Markup text through transparent barline

Hi, Michael:

Might I recommend either \whiteout (see example, below) or \box (with  
correct padding, fill, etc.)?

Best regards,
Kieren.

%%%  CODE BEGINS
\version "2.9.14"

stuff = \relative
{
        \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -2)
        c'2^\markup { "test" }
        c2^\markup { \whiteout "test" }
        c2^\markup { \whiteout "test" }
}

\score
{
        \stuff
}
%%%  CODE ENDS
