Re: avoiding collisions between markup, tempo, and \mark

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Andrew (et al.),

I would suggest X-offset is perhaps a good choice:

{
  \mark \default
  \once \override Score.MetronomeMark.X-offset = #11
  \tempo "A tempo" 8 = 104
  s2^\markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.segno" } | s2*15 \bar "||”
}

Or perhaps even extra-spacing-width/height, etc. In any case, I think it should 
be something relatively surgical and specific: Wol's “   A tempo” idea is too 
hacky/unpredictable, and extra-offset should only be used when there are no 
better solutions.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
