You want the outside-staff-priority property. Either set the fermata's (Script.) property small, so that it goes closer to the staff, or set the markup's (TextScript.) large, so that it goes farther away from the staff. Actually, I can't get the latter to work on short notice, so here's the former: \version "2.18.2" \score { \new Staff { c4 c c c | R1\fermataMarkup ^"G.P." | c4 c c c | c2 r2\fermata ^"G.P." | c4 c c c | c2 \once \override Script.outside-staff-priority = #50 r2\fermata ^"G.P." | } } Jim _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
