Re: left justifying text over multimeasure rests

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you replace the spacing note with an ordinary note, you see better 
what happens.
If you then keep playing around with the example, you will notice that 
it's the "*0"
that's the culprit. If you use s4^"..." instead, the result looks much 
better.
Of course, you don't get this artificially large horizontal spacing in 
any real
world score and as soon as the spacing gets more tight, you won't notice 
the
problem even with your original approach.

I'm sure you know about the alternative to use text marks attached to the
bar lines.
