Re: Rehearsal Mark Shown Above Tempo

[lesmondo]

Answering my own question....Looking at the multiple marks example, it uses outside-staff-priority to set the stacking order,

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Outside_002dstaff-objects

so adding this

\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'outside-staff-priority = #10

fixed my problem.

Yes, I've read those examples, but still am at a loss how or why the tempo is affecting the placement. If I remove the tempo the first mark is in the correct place without tweaking the alignment.

Could you have made a tiny example (why do we need a \paper block to see this) ?

Anyway, here are some tweaks you can do with Rehearsal marks

else don't think of them as rehearsal marks but just normal \markups
and use padding to move them up and down as you need.
