Re: Rehearsal Mark Spacing

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you play around with your example, you will notice that the problem
only accurs when the mark is followed by a multimeasure rest.

If you use the latest unstable 2.11.x version, then the following 
alternative
works well
\score {
 \new Staff {
   \time 3/4

   <<R2.*2 s2.^\markup {\large \bold "Peacefully, yet joyously" } >>|
   \repeat unfold 15 { r2 <es'' es'''>4 }
 }
}

but as far as I know it doesn't work well in 2.10 or earlier versions.
