Re: Horizontal alignment of MultiMeasureRest markups

[Peter Crighton]

Sorry for the late answer …

Thanks for the suggestion, Kieren, anyway I decided to go with my two-voice approach because I needed the markup to appear at the beginning of the bar and so needed no further adjustments.

I’m wondering, though, why \halign #5 doesn’t work in my above example. Seems to me like being a bug.

Hi Peter,

> why is it not possible to horizontal align markups attached to a MultiMeasureRest in the positive direction (i.e. left)?

It is:

\version "2.17.96"

\paper { ragged-right = ##f }

\new Staff <<
    {
      R1-\tweak #'self-alignment-X #LEFT ^\markup { "text" }
    }
>>

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
