Re: Snippet for aligning markup inside another markup

Hi Michael,

This is *almost* it, right?

%%%  SNIPPET ENDS
\version "2.19.83"

boxone = \markup \with-color #blue \filled-box #'(0 . 6) #'(0 . 6) #0
boxtwo = \markup \with-color #red \filled-box #'(3 . 5) #'(5 . 7) #0

\markup \combine \halign #0 \boxone \halign #0 \boxtwo
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

I may be wrong, but I’m thinking there’s some relatively simple incantation 
which would take it to the goal line.
Hopefully someone out there more knowledgeable than I will help.

Cheers,
Kieren.
