RE: Vertical adjustment of \markup

[Palmer, Ralph]

Thanks, Trevor. 

Will \override (as opposed to \once \override) give all subsequent
TextSpanner entries the same staff-padding? or the same edge-text
setting, for that matter?

Hi Ralph

This should do what you want:

Insert
  \override TextSpanner #'staff-padding = #9

Change the '9' to give the height you want
