Re: markup ?

[Phil Holmes]

I did try that command in looking at what was going on, and it made no difference - I think \textLengthOff is Off by default, in any case.

 

As I said in my reply, the way the text/notes are laid out appears to be a by-product of the command \override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##t in the gregorian.ly file.  I cured the problem for Michael by putting

 

\override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##f

 

in the Global block.

 

I guess the packed-spacing command shouldn't have this by-product?

With the following file, I want to begin adding text expressions above the music. While I understand the basics, I am faltering on how to get the expressions exactly how I want them. E.g. I want the following phrase: ^\markup{\italic 

    ''Blessed is the Kingdom ... ''} to be aligned above the 1st measure of music, but evenly space, not shifting the music or notes any at all. How, can I accomplish this?

I think the \textLengthOff command does this.
