thanks James. I tried it, for some reason it works in one place not another ...
melody = \relative c' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 { \melodyintro \repeat volta 2 {\melodychorus \mark \markup "Fine" % this Fine indeed works "Fine" \bar "||"} \alternative {{\melodyvone} {\melodyvtwo}} \mark \markup "D.S. Al Fine" % this doesn't show ??? maybe pushed off edge of page ??? \bar "|." } } Must be a silly reason, I searched for a manual entry on \mark \markup ... but could not find? thanks again Daniel On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 4:24 PM, James E.
