Dear Nick,


I just realized that the solution is not as good as it seemed to be. It seems 
that if I use a markup, the distance between subsequent crotchets won't be the 
same, as the first crotchet of the measure (the one that is represented by the 
markup) will be placed a little more left than it should be. So I need a 
solution where the actual bar lines would move 'a bit to the right' in order to 
be in sync with the first notehead in the measure.


Thanks,
Ádám
