Re: offset not working

[Mats Bengtsson]

I would expect such marks to be left aligned with the bar lines instead
of centered over the multimeasure rest, to make it completely clear
exactly where in the music the change should happen. Here's one example:

\version "2.6.0"
\score{
{ \set Score.skipBars = ##t
  \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #3
  c''1 \mark \markup{\bold "Andante" } |
  R1*4 \mark \markup{\bold "Etwas langsamer" } |
  R1*7 c''1 }
\layout{raggedright=##t}
}
