Re: Lyric and Stanza collision

[Mats Bengtsson]

I think you misunderstood my reply. I didn't say that you
should use text \markup commands, but that you should
use Rehearsal marks, i.e. use the \mark command, just
as you already have done for the "REFRAIN" indication
in your original example.

Also, it's much easier to understand a question if you include
a complete example that can be ran directly in LilyPond
instead of just a few lines taken out of context.
