Re: markups and accents inside staff

[Jim Cline]

Hi Knute, thanks, that works.  I am also trying to figure out how to do 
the analogous thing with the placement of a markup text.  Putting the same 
tweaks within the markup does not compile.  Putting

\markup{\hspace #4 \vspace #-2 text}

applies the hspace but ignores the vspace.  --Jim
