1.8.1.4 Text marks

The \mark command is primarily used for Rehearsal marks, but it can also be used to add text elements in a score:

     
     c4\mark "text" c c c

As it can contain a \markup object, the \mark command makes possible to put any text, but also signs like coda, segno, or fermata on a bar line. The appropriate symbol has to be specified in the \markup block; these symbols are listed in The Feta font.

     
     c1 \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" }
     c1

\mark is only typeset above the top staff of the score. If you specify the \mark command at a bar line, the resulting mark is placed above the bar line. If you specify it in the middle of a bar, the resulting mark is positioned between notes. If it is specified before the beginning of a score line, it is placed before the first note of the line. Finally, if the mark occurs at a line break, the mark will be printed at the beginning of the next line.

If there is no next line, then the mark will not be printed at all.

Selected Snippets

To print the mark at the end of the current line, use

\override Score.RehearsalMark
  #'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible

\mark is often useful for adding text to the end of bar. In such cases, changing the #'self-alignment is very useful

     
     \override Score.RehearsalMark
       #'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
     c1 c c c4 c c c
     \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
     \mark "D.S. al Fine "

Text marks may be aligned with notation objects other than bar lines,

     
     \relative {
       c1
       \key cis \major
       \clef alto
       \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbols = #'(key-signature)
       \mark "on key"
       cis
       \key ces \major
       \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbols = #'(clef)
       \clef treble
       \mark "on clef"
       ces
       \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbols = #'(time-signature)
       \key d \minor
       \clef tenor
       \time 3/4
       \mark "on time"
       c
     }

Possible symbols for the break-align-symbols list are ambitus, breathing-sign, clef, custos, staff-bar, left-edge, key-cancellation, key-signature, and time-signature.

The text marks will, by default, be aligned with the middle of the notation object, but this can be changed by overriding the break-align-anchor-alignment and break-align-anchor properties for the appropriate grob. For scores with multiple staves, this setting should be done for all the staves.

     
     {
       \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbols = #'(key-signature)
       c1
       \key cis \major
     
       % the RehearsalMark will be aligned with the left edge of the KeySignature
       \once \override Score.KeySignature #'break-align-anchor-alignment = #LEFT
       \mark \default
       cis1
       \key ces \major
     
       % the RehearsalMark will be aligned with the right edge of the KeySignature
       \once \override Score.KeySignature #'break-align-anchor-alignment = #RIGHT
       \mark \default
       ces1
       \key cis \major
     
       % the RehearsalMark will be aligned with the left edge of the KeySignature
       % and then shifted right by 2 units.
       \once \override Score.KeySignature #'break-align-anchor = #2
       \mark \default
       ces1
     }

Although text marks are normally only printed above the topmost staff, you may alter this to print them on every staff,

     
     {
       \new Score \with {
         \remove "Mark_engraver"
       }
       <<
         \new Staff \with {
           \consists "Mark_engraver"
         }
         { c''1 \mark "foo" c'' }
         \new Staff \with {
           \consists "Mark_engraver"
         }
         { c'1 \mark "foo" c' }
       >>
     }
