Re: Two bits of markup at the same point in the music?

[Richard Shann]

Thank you very much for this answer. One minor puzzle: what is the
hyphen doing before \tweak in these examples?
I have tried the same script with and without the hyphen and (on 2.16.0)
I get the same pdf.
That is, this seems to work just fine:

  <>\tweak #'extra-offset #'(0 . 2) ^\markup {"pizz."}
  <>\tweak #'extra-offset #'(0 . -10) _\markup {"3"}

Thanks too to Eluze for his response. And the handy warning that the
syntax is changing (I can put in a conditional to cover this).
