Re: markup placement
my personal experience is that the most productive thing I've done in Lilypond is learning to search in the documentation :) 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. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

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.

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