Re: how2

[Mats Bengtsson]

You are correct that #1 and #3 are supported nicely in the latest
1.7.x versions but unfortunately not in the stable versions.
One possible workaround is to attach the text/script to a spacing
note in a parallel line of music:
<R2. {s2 s4^"Allegretto"}>
but it can be tricky to get the horizontal alignment correct.

For #4, take a look at the documentation of the breakAlignOrder
property of the Score context, see
http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Score.html
The default settings can be found close to the top of the page and an
example of the syntax is found further down in the paragraph on 
Break_align_engraver.

For #2, take a look at the documentation of the MultiMeasureRest
object at
http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/MultiMeasureRest.html
In particular, you will find a property called expand-limit which is
exactly what you're looking for.
