Hello, Doing it your way you can simply use
\new Dynamics \with { \consists Stem_engraver \consists Note_heads_engraver \override NoteHead.stencil = #point-stencil alignAboveContext = "giu"} which requires a bit less tuning than getting a Staff to behave not like a Staff. But I’d rather do something like tactus = \markup \path #0.15 #'((moveto 0 1) (lineto 0 -1)) giu = \new Staff = "giu" { \relative c' { << {b4 a g f} \new Dynamics \with { alignAboveContext = "giu" } {\repeat unfold 4 s4-\tactus} >> } } which does also allow something like giu = \new Staff = "giu" { \relative c' { << {b4 a g f} {\repeat unfold 4 s4^\tactus} >> } } Cheers, Valentin Am Samstag, 26.
