RE: Merging scores in one pdf - score footer

[sdfgsdhdshd]

Interesting to know these informations.

I'm searching for a markup (or any other way to put text) attached to the
previous score, the score before the markup. Or if you prefer for a score
footer, but a footer that can be in the middle of a page, between 2 scores,
not necessarily at the bottom of a page.

A markup not attached to any score may be seen as a first step, interesting
in several situations.
