Re: horizontal space after rehearsal mark (or bar line)

[James Lowe]

So what is wrong with

\score {
 \relative c' {
   \clef G
   \time 4/4
   c'1 d
   \bar "||" \mark \markup { \box "M2" } e( \f ^\markup {\halign #-1.5 
{Tutti}} f)
 }
}

Seems to me that '\halign #-1.5' is far less complicated than any of those?

Alternatively how about shrinking down the size of the \box markup?

\mark \markup { \tiny \box "M2" }

or whatever size you want. and hey! even combine the two.

To me all this seems to get vastly and unnecessarily over-complicated 
sometimes.
