Thanks. Although \textLengthOn at the beginning of the music solves the problem of the jianpu, it also creates other problems (e.g. the word "cantabile" under the first note of a bar pushes all the other notes to the right leaving a big space). It does not seem possible to insert \textLengthOn and \textLengthOff around each markup command; you can put them before and after the note as a whole, but how can you say you want the "cantabile" to be textLengthOff and the jianpu to be textLengthOn when they're on the same note? Incidentally I also tried writing the jianpu notation as figured bass with \markup in it, but this didn't work very well because (a) rests are not allowed to have figured bass over them and (b) if you don't want the height to be adjusted then you have to let the figured bass go below the stave not above. Thanks again.
