Re: Text markup within scores

[Mats Bengtsson]

In addition to the previous answer; if you find the default layout that
ly2dvi gives you too limited or ugly, I recommend to use lilypond-book,
which lets you include your score in an ordinary LaTeX document, so you
get full freedom to design the page layout as you wish.
