Thanks, Jean and Valentin, for the replies. I’ll certainly be able to
achieve the result that I want.
However, I do think that DynamicTextSpanner should simply use properties
bound-details.left.self-alignment-X and
bound-details.left.parent-alignment-X
for this, by default. attach-dir doesn’t seem very descriptive and it
deviates from the way horizontal alignment is normally specified in
LilyPond, and likewise being able to specify self-alignment-X would seem
to be the normal thing to expect.
I’ll submit such a request to the bug list.
Best, Simon

Hello Simon,
You need to use bound-details.left for these kind of things. There you have
the property attach-dir, which acts like parent-alignment-X for the endpoint.
This one defaults to LEFT, so you cannot really get any further by this. The
other way is to use the text property to add a \right-align to have the actual
markup aligned to the right (you might want to change attach-dir to CENTER, as
the fff does the same.
We can infact add some sugar for this, like here.
Cheers,
Valentin

Hi List,
is there an equivalent to self-alignment-X for the left bound text of a
DynamicTextSpanner? See below.
