Re: Breathing marks

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Here's some ideas as workaround.
Just in case.

\version "2.18.2"

\relative c'' {
  \override BreathingSign.text = \markup { 3 }
  \override BreathingSign.Y-offset = #-1
  \tweak stencil #(lambda (grob)
      (grob-interpret-markup grob #{ \markup\lower #1 { 3 } #}))
  r8 r4*5/6 \breathe r \breathe r
  r4
}

myRest = {
  \tweak stencil #(lambda (grob)
      (grob-interpret-markup grob #{
        \markup { \lower #1 "3" \musicglyph #"rests.2" } #}))
   \tweak X-extent #'(2 . 3)
   r4
}

\relative c'' {
  \myRest \myRest \myRest r
}

My two pence...
