Hi Simon, I've played a bit with your example, based on http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=540 which is also part of the documentation. This might do the trick:
% --------------------------------------------------- \version "2.19.18" \score { << \new Voice { { \override TextScript.avoid-slur = #'inside \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f \override DynamicTextSpanner.style = #'none << { f''1( ges''4)\! } { s2 s2^\markup \italic "dim." } >> } } \new Voice { 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 } >> } % --------------------------------------------------- I only got it to work by replacing "\dim" with a markup expression that looks the same.
