I think there is a general problem in LilyPond with the positioning of things. You can easily attach a markup (that now actually can contain anything) to a note. But can't attach it to a clef, a stem, a bar line etc. It would be very good, if you could attach a markup to any grob. I suppose it w

It still seems not ideally flexible, because for example, you want to put a markup above the \bar ":|" (like "repeat 3x") Then you must: - change the formatting of the RehearsalMark object (because it is typeset in a larger font than a markup) - remove the Staff_collecting_engraver from the Scor

I have copied the otf-fonts to my .fonts directory and Inkscape 0.45* does display noteheads, clef etc.. BUT: lilypond default fonts for text is replaced by a sans serif font, this is also true for the time signature. Apparently Inkscape still does not find all necessary fonts. What else can I do?

Hi all, It still seems not ideally flexible Agreed — another common example is attaching a date (e.g., "30 Jan 2009, Paris.") to the final barline. The ability to attach markup to arbitrary grobs would be quite useful/ powerful. Best, Kieren. _
