Re: improving Janek's \dynamic function (for combo dynamics)

Hi Harm,

=(

Neither has the Lilypond development team, as far as I can tell: I don't know 
of any way to do it currently (i.e., independent of your new functionality).

> You want to change fontsize of the italic parts, right?

Correct.

> Will you ever want to have this parts to be not italic but sth else?

Ideally, I suppose, all 'usual' text properties could be adjusted… but in my 
use-cases, I set the main document font, the dynamic 'normal-text' font is 
always italic, and I only need to adjust the size (relative to the size of the 
dynamic font) in my stylesheet.

> Will you ever want to change fontsize of dynamic-font as well?

That can be done by setting

   \override DynamicText.font-size

> Will you ever want to have this parts to be not dynamic but sth else?

Don't know why that would ever happen? Maybe others have those use-cases…

Thanks,
Kieren.
