Re: Spacing Dynamics

[Mats Bengtsson]

The problem you have found is clearly a bug and it has already been
fixed in the development version. Waiting for the next stable release,
2.4.0 to appear very soon, I wouldn't expect any more bug fixes to the
2.2.x series, but as a workaround, you could add some spaces at the
beginning of the "cresc.":
\set crescendoText = \markup { \italic "  cresc." }

benefit of yourself since you get access to the collected
expertise on the list and for the benefit of others who experience
similar problems.)
