Hello, Your TextSpanner starts at the beginning of bar #37 and is displayed above the staff, that's what you have in your code as well. Is there a particular reason why you don't use a DynamicTextSpanner (command \cresc) for these cresc. ? And why you put your dynamics in a separate variable but not these textual crescendi ? And using a Dynamics context seems an overkill for me in this case (I use them only for PianoStaff-likes). Kind regards, Xavier
