I think I used to know how to do this but I can't find any evidence of it, but I'd like to do something that looks roughly like the following, where the text ("fine" or "D.C. al fine") are printed below the line:
|: /— 4 —/ :|: /— 4 —/ fine :| |: /— 4 —/ :|: /— 4 —/ D.C. al fine :| ...while separating notes and time into separate variables. It seems like I should be able to do this by simply setting text to right-align: Time = { \repeat volta 2 { s1*4 } \repeat volta 2 { s1*4_\markup\right-align{ fine } } \repeat volta 2 { s1*4 } \repeat volta 2 { s1*4_\markup\right-align{ D.C. al fine } } } Notes = { R1*4 R1*4 R1*4 R1*4 } ...but that's clearly not how it works, since the text ends up being printed in the middle of the rest. Please remind me how to do this? s1*3 s1_"fine" ends up breaking the multimeasure rest, so is suboptimal. —Josiah
