Thanks - this works very well. However, I have had another issue arise from
implementing this technique:
Longer dynamic strings (e.g. "p delicato", "crescendo", etc.) that are engraved
as dynamic scripts in this fashion end up getting centered, as a text string,
horizontally under the notehead. This necessitates offsetting them somehow; my
immediate workaround is to apply
\once \override DynamicText #'extra-offset = #'( x . y )
to shift the dynamic string to the appropriate position.
With this in mind, however, is there a means of doing the following:
a) Defining a dynamic text string that will left-align to the notehead? This is
generally what is desired for markings such as "cresc." "dim.", plus other
expressive markings ("dolce", etc.) that stand alone, i.e. without a dynamic
marking such as "p", "f", etc.
b) Defining a dynamic text string that centers the dynamic mark ("p", "f", etc.)
under the notehead as per usual, while allowing any modifiers in the string
(e.g. "dim.", "dolce", etc.) to follow to the right?
I know that this latter, in particular, is a rather sophisticated request, but
it would be worth being able to automate such issues that are likely to occur
frequently.
