These worked fine, thanks!  Another question: is there a way to use  
\fatText with rests?  I'm trying to do

  R1^\markup{ \column{ "Vc. cadenza" \musicglyph  
#"scripts.ufermata" } }

but calling \fatText beforehand doesn't do anything.  The problem is  
that the text is too wide for the horizontal space given to the rest;  
I'd like the rest's measure to expand to fit this text.  Is this  
possible?
