Re: Placing (some) outside-staff objects horizontally rather than vertically

[William Rehwinkel]

Dear Joel,

Especially if you are most interested in replicating a known source, 
another workaround that you may try is to manually write the three 
symbols as one markup line, like so:

Thanks,
-Will

% ----------
\version "2.24.0"

music = \fixed c' {
  \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t
  \tempo 4 = 80
  \textMark \markup {
    \line {
      \small \italic "Silence."
      \large Largo.
      \small "\"PETER DRAGS WENDY ON TO ROCK\""
    }
  }
  d1
  \repeat unfold 4 { c4 d e f }
}



\score {
  <<
    \music
  >>
}
% ----------
