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

Dominique,

Once again many thanks.

You can forget my previous comments on default MARK position. I realise that it depends on the context and the fact that we have dx, dy position as option is sufficient enough for this! And in my case, converting from MusicXML, everything is already there!
