Re: lilypond-user Digest, Vol 67, Issue 107

Dear All,
\version "2.10.33"
I've been trying to set the Anglican Preces and Responses. 
So far, I've got one line, with two \score lines inside a \markup.
and juggled the numbers so that the score does not go
off the page. I've shrunk the font by 1 , which looks 
reasonable. 
Is there any way of moving all the music to the left and down a bit, away from the header?
There will be about ten lines altogether.
Does anyone have any suggestions, as my code is all over
the place.
Thank you for your attention.
