Re: 2.13.61 2 rehearsal marks - Solved 2 problems - new smaller one

[Ed Gordijn]

Hi Paul,

You can use:

\tempo \markup {\fontsize #2 "mark" }

To obtain the correct size.

I faced a similar problem and was thinking that it would be great if I 
could write a markup function that would return the current rehearsal 
mark as a markup object but that challenge was to big for me. Maybe 
someone else can?

Greetings, Ed
