I actually think reading the learning manual is more important than searching 
the documentation. The learning manual explains how lilypond works, how to find 
the answers to questions you may not even have, and even tips on how to input 
files so that as you learn more about lilypond you can still use some of your 
first scores. Granted, at a certain point, you have to know to look for 
something in the Notation reference because it's not covered in the learning 
manual, but the learning manual usually has a reference that there's more 
information in the notation reference, or you at least have a vague idea of 
what to look for in the notation reference.

Yes, searching is important and I have been doing that all day. This is
my first big scoring with lilypond and it is at times a bit
overwhelming.


yes, it may be at first, but as you keep getting used to it you'll surely  
find that the reward compensates the effort :)

Wonderful... I've been in the notation reference all day and from there
I got the snippet for rehearsal marks which I bastardized. That's what
this clueless soul did before finally asking for help.

Is it possible to move objects like that markup with the proper

forgot that.

you can read about that in the Learning Manual 4.5.1 "Moving objects"

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Moving-objects#Moving-objects

and more generally about text in the Notation Reference 1.8 "Text"

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Text#Text

my personal experience is that the most productive thing I've done in  
Lilypond is learning to search in the documentation :)

why do you use a rehearsal mark? by attaching the "div." to the rest, the  
result is closer to what you want, isn't?


r2-\markup { \teeny "div." } cs'4\downbow e'4

you can then finetune the alignment for instance manually with  
#'extra-offset.
