Re: Anchoring markups

[Bertalan Fodor (LilyPondTool)]

It still seems not ideally flexible, because for example, you want to 
put a markup above the \bar ":|" (like "repeat 3x")
Then you must:
- change the formatting of the RehearsalMark object (because it is 
typeset in a larger font than a markup)
- remove the Staff_collecting_engraver from the Score (this should not 
be mandatory, as I just want to align a text markup to a grob).

Also, to align the markup to the left of the key signature, you must 
override a property of Score.KeySignature, so that's again not flexible.
