Well, you would not count. Instead you'd say something like \R-until \atMark 8 or \R-until \atmeasure 80 I am afraid that "2 before mark G" would be too ambitious since one can't rewind the time. But "x after" should be possible. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
