This one still seems to be the same.

Those two are fixed.  Many, many thanks!


Here's a new version.  I left out the spacing problem with < R1*30 s >,
since it takes so many notes to demonstrate.


\score {
\notes {
\property Score.skipBars = ##t
\clef bass
\key f \minor
\time 4/4

% Markup replaces number of measures.  feature or bug?
R1*20_\markup { \roman "Begin" }
R1*20^\markup { \roman "Begin" }

% Workaround for above
R1*20^\markup { \number "10" }_"Tacet"

% Markup collides with bottom line of staff;
% looks like it is aligned with bottom of rest.
R1_"a1b2c3"
R1*2_"a1b2c3"
R1*3_\markup { \roman "a1b2c3" }
R1*4_"a1b2c3"  % this one looks OK

% Text is always centered.  Is there any way to left-justify?
% (self-alignment-X doesn't seem to help)
\property Staff.TextScript \override #'self-alignment-X = #-1
R1*10^\markup{ \roman \column << "I" >> }
% Actually lines are left-justified to each other, but are centered as a unit.
R1*11^\markup{ \roman \column << "I" "zzz" >> }

}
}
