someone mentioned off-list that i should send a minimal example, apologies
so:
\version "2.18.2"
\relative c'' {
\mark \markup \rounded-box "x" c1
\mark \markup \rounded-box "x" g'1
\mark \markup \rounded-box "x" a,1
}
the three boxes are all at different heights
i'm hoping there is a simple "global" way to make them all the same, for the entire score
i guess the question is about absolute positioning as much as alignment, though mostly i want all of the boxes to be vertically aligned with each other (i'm not super concerned what spacing is decided on)
