+Text attached to a skip note in this way is left-aligned to the
+position where the note would be placed in the bar, and placed
+above the bar count numeral, but because the bar length is
+determined by the length of the text, the text will appear to be
+centered.  If two (or more) texts are
+attached to skip notes in a bar the bar length is determined by
+the longer text, and the shorter text is then clearly
+left-aligned, as shown in the second bar above.  If the shorter
+text of two marks is short enough to fit it will be placed
+alongside and to the left of the bar count numeral.
