Re: aligning text and devnull with extender [correction]

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello again,

I saw my code was damaged while copying and pasting to the mail, sorry! 
So now I attach a file ...

regards Jan-Peter.

\version "2.12.2"

noten = \relative c'' {
  \dynamicUp
  d1\p\>
  \tag #'print { c1 ~ c1 }
  \tag #'lyrics { c2 ~ c8 c4. ~ c1 }
  s1*0\! \bar "|."
}
notend = \relative c'' {
  \dynamicUp
  d1\p\>
  c1\( c1\)\!
  \bar "|."
}
text = \lyricmode {
  a -- men __ "(n)" __
}
textb = \lyricmode {
  a -- \markup { men \translate #'( 14 . 0 ) "(n)" } __
}

\score {
