Re: issue regarding adding text markup

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you read the corresponding part of the manual for the
development version,
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Text-markup.html
you will probably get a bit wiser.

To align the whole markup to the left, do
  \property Score.RehearsalMark \override #'self-alignment-X = #left
(I see in the mailing list archives that I noticed some problems
with this last time I answered the same question from you. Now I
tried it with the latest development version and it works excellently).
