Thanks.  It does look much better but I'm not sure if it's enough.  I 
was using the method from before because it worked.

I disagree and that's why I posted.

I have just tried this and I will probably adopt this as better than 
what I had been doing.  Interestingly enough the font for \mark is 
larger than the default for ^"...".  I will also have to write a Scheme 
macro for this since it's a lot to type for each tempo ,etc. mark.  I 
will share this with LSR when I get something I like.

Thanks very much!
