Hi Valentin, Dear LilyPond users, I'm sorry I'm reviving some few-week-old topics that interested me but I was not able to take effectively part of the discussion when it was intensely occuring.
This message ensue from Valentin's "Absolute dynamics as postfix text" patch and following discussion. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2010-09/msg00148.html Of course, I'm really happy to see proposals for custom dynamic indications (i.e. mix of dynamic and text, like "mp dolce") as _postfix_ command. There is currently no easy way to handle such quite frequent situations ("p subito", "ff appassionato", "p espr.", ...). I was really frustrated by this fact, I complained (as usually) about it and I have been given a solution, thanks to Valentin and Graham's "make-dynamic-extra" function. That said, I appreciate to see people trying to set up a more convenient (and user-friendly) way to do that. Valentin's proposal is fine, as far as I can understand it. However I would have thought at another proposal : why not make it possible to align normal markups (i.e. TextScript) on dynamic, using some kind of property? Something like \override TextScript #'align-on-dynamic = ##t If ##t markups would align on dynamic if present, if false the behavior would stay like it is now (positioned separately). That would also make us avoid creating a lot of "custom dynamics", but instead use "simple markups" (+ override a property). I spoke about this idea in a message on lilypond-user some months ago. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-04/msg00435.html Thanks for your attention.
