Re: Rehearsal mark on right side of measure?

[Dirck Nagy]

Thanks Aaron !

I couldn't get it to work, at first, but I was attaching it to a "spacing voice" with no music in it.  (I sometimes use a separate voice for barlines, etc... but perhaps i shouldnt be doing that) 

It worked once i moved it to a voice with actual notes in it.

peace!

No, \mark for RehearsalMarks is perfectly fine.  What you need to do is
firstly ensure the \mark command is located at the correct moment in the
music--it sounds like you are putting the \mark at the beginning of a
measure when it should appear at the next bar line--and then ensure its
break-visibility is set appropriately so the mark appears on the correct
line.  Consider:

%%%%
\version "2.25.13"

{
   \repeat unfold 3 { b'4 4 2 }
   \tweak break-visibility #end-of-line-visible
   \tweak self-alignment-X #RIGHT
   \mark \default \break
   \repeat unfold 3 { b'4 4 2 } 1 \fine
}
%%%%
