Now that you have successfully upgraded to LilyPond 2.18.0, the command which I earlier gave you should work - namely, \override Staff.DynamicText.self-alignment-X = #-1 If your dynamics are in a Dynamics context rather than a Staff context, then change Staff in the above command to Dynamics. The default horizontal position for DynamicText is #0, or centered. #1 right-aligns the dynamics; #-1 left-aligns them. Other numbers, whether between or outside of these bounds, will work as well. I hope this helps. Please take care. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
