Ah!  That reminder should open a lot of possibilities.  
Ok.  It gives me something musically correct but divides the R1*8 into 
an r1 followed by an R1*7.  I can live with that since I have a 
rehearsal in a few hours but I'm curious to know if I can't get exactly 
what I want.  What I tried was:

< {R1*8} { s1^#"To B. Cl." } > R1*3

I added the braces after the first try divided the R1*8 into r1 + R1*7

I tried that and it didn't work with 1.6.4.  The text just wasn't visible.

Of course without the < > the s1 doesn't work.  I tried that also.
