Re: Text *in* score - Stopped staves - Horizontal spacing

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Pierre-Luc,

Didn’t see this before…

“Obviously”?? There are many ways to skin a Lilypond cat…  ;)
This one isn’t great, but it works without stopping staves:

\version "2.19.54"

someText = \markup \with-dimensions #empty-interval #empty-interval \whiteout 
\pad-x #2 {
  \override #(cons 'line-width 40)
  \justify {
    \fontsize #-4 {
      \underline \larger \smallCaps {
        "Narrator :"
      }

songStructure = {
