left justifying text over multimeasure rests

2008-01-15 Thread Paul Scott
In 2.11.37 it seems that trying to get left aligned text over multimeasure rests only works under some conditions. In the following example only the first case is left aligned. This is what I am observing in my real examples. \version 2.11.37 \new Staff { \set Score.skipBars = ##t

If you replace the spacing note with an ordinary note, you see better what happens. If you then keep playing around with the example, you will notice that it's the *0 that's the culprit. If you use s4^... instead, the result looks much better. Of course, you don't get this artificially large

Hi! I tried putting a copyright symbol in one of my pieces, and it wouldn't put it there. The only thing I was able to use was the parentheses with a 'c'. Any time I tried to use '(c)', it wouldn't show it, and the compile was full of errors. Any ideas (not too geeky ones, that is ...)?
