Hi David
Perhaps you could turn this idea into a music function:
\relative c'' {
a4 a a a |
<<
{ a4 a a a | }
{
\once \override MultiMeasureRest #'transparent = ##t
R1_"XIII" |
}
>>
a4 a a a |
}

Subject: centering text on a measure
Hi all,
I've been experimenting with a way to center text on measures. (I
create a
lot of exercises with blanks or roman numerals between the staff,
and it's
nice not to need to position each one individually by trial and
error.)
I've come up with the following function which works, but I wonder
if
there's a simpler or "more correct" way to go about this.
Also, I'm wondering why I can't apply this function to 'X-offset
rather than
'extra-offset. I've attached a version of the file which returns
an
'X-offset value, and it returns an error (also with
'self-alignment-X). Is
there a way to fix this?
Any suggestions will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
David
