In a combination with staff-padding it is possible to vertically align
TextScript markups by their baseline.
Well, this only works sort-of, namely when there's no music above the
staff.
In this modified excerpt you can see that the text abvoe the first bar
is pushed upwards with no need:
I would like to be able to position text at a fixed distance from the
staff, regardless of any items in the "padding" area. Of course if that
would collide the text could be allowed to move (if the a'' were in the
second bar that would be the case). But if a solution would suppress
collision handling altogether it might be acceptable as well.
Hi Urs,
This can be accomplished by
\override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f
That way, TextScript is not treated as an outside-staff object and thus will
not be pushed away from the stave by music. Your example will work with just
this little additional override:
