The standard method to move objects further away from the stave is to increase the padding, as described in "Common Tweaks" in the manual. For example \override TextScript #'padding = #3.0 to move all text scripts upwards. You can also define a macro like moveup = \once \override TextScript #'padding = #3.0 that you can use \moveup d^"Sostenuto"
Another popular trick is d^" "^"Sostenuto" but I find that more ugly. /Mats Roman V. Isaev wrote:
When I type d'8[( \f ^"Sostenuto" e' f' e' d' e']) | I get somethig horrible: http://www.soprano-recorder.ru/tmp/question4.gif Ugh. I have to enter d'8[( \f ^\markup { " " \raise #1.5 "Sostenuto" } e' f' e' d' e']) | but it's a lot to type the same markup syntax many times. Is there any way to do this automagically (i.e. if the text crosses slur line, then raise the text above slur)? Or at least do that rasing somehow less wordy, like ^^"text" gets raised by #1.0, ^^^"text" gets raised by #2.0, etc?
