why is it not possible to horizontal align markups attached to a MultiMeasureRest in the positive direction (i.e. left)?
I expected this code to work, but the \halign seems to be ignored (#-5 would work):
\version "2.17.29"
\new Staff <<
{
R1^\markup { \null \halign #5 "text" }
}
>>
I used the following workaround:
\version "2.17.29"
\new Staff <<
{
R1
}
\new Voice
{
s1^\markup { "text" }
}
>>
With that I didn’t even need any kind of alignment in my special case, but all alignments would work with this.
It keeps me wondering, though, why it does not work on a MultiMeasureRest. Is that intentional?
