By default, text produced by markup takes up no horizontal space
as far as laying out the music is concerned. The @code{\textLengthOn}
command reverses this behavior, causing the notes to be spaced
@code{\override}, @code{\set}, @code{\revert} or @code{unset},
so cannot be used with @code{\textLengthOn}.

Markup text will also avoid notes which project above the staff.
If this is not desired, the automatic displacement upwards may
be turned off by setting the priority to @code{#f}. Here's an

-Should a similar situation arise in @q{real} music, it may
