Re: text in staff

[Kris Shaffer]

The markup command is the correct way to do it, but instead of \lower, use  
the "extra-offset" property.  For example,

        \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -10)
        c4^"markup"

will create a quarter note C, place the word "markup" above the staff, and  
the extra-offset will shift it 0 staff spaces horizontally and 10 staff  
spaces down.
