Re: Cannot adjust markup box position

[Klaus Blum]

Hi Javier, 

your score consists of 
(first) the chords (printed on top), 
(second) the notes (on bottom) to which the markup is attached. Thus, the
box will always be located below the chords. 
Indeed, you can move it up like you did, but now the staff with notes and
box takes up more space from top to bottom. That's why the staff is pushed
downwards. 

I suggest to use the \mark command which produces a RehearsalMark. In the
notation reference, you will find some useful hints for its alignment and
appearance.

% --------------------------------------
\score{
  {
    <<
      \chords { c2 g:sus4 }
      \relative c'' {
        \mark \markup \box{A}
        a4
        e c8 e r4
      }
    >>
  }
  \layout{}
}
% --------------------------------------

Cheers, 
Klaus
