Hello Kieren, I've just thought of another reason not too use \mark for placing text for tempo changes and expressive text: what happens if it's not at the beginning of the bar? You would have to do a lot of tweaking to get the position just right - and then you decide to change the music in a

Kieren, Thanks - I found this from the various snippets and issue reports as you can see from my next paragraph. I haven't had time to investigate yet, though. Best regards, Peter mailto:lilyp...@ptoye.com www.ptoye.com - Sunday, December 1, 2019, 1:22:20 PM, Kieren Ma
