Re: [Guidolib-devel] Mark tag for Rehearsal Markups

[Arshia C. <ars...@an...>]

Dominique,

While you’re still “hot” on the Mark tag, a suggestion on default Mark position: 

The 2HS above the staff is just perfect. Could you also declare the default Horizontal position so that it would NOT collide with the event? If the associated “event” with MARK is high above the staff, there are collisions.

Note that usually MARK will be used at the beginning of a bar/measure. Ideally we should  position it on top of the “bar line”, if any (and for “rehearsal marks” there are always one right before).

I’ll look myself in how to improve this as well on my side.
