Re: markups and accents inside staff

Hi Jim,

> I guess \vspace is not intended for use within markups?

Well… \vspace is not intended to be used within markups the way you were trying 
to use it.  :)

\markup \column {
  "this"
  \vspace #5
  "works"
}

If you want to move something down, you can use \lower:

  \markup { "this" \lower #12 "is lower" }

Hope that helps!
