Simon,

Thanks, again. It does help :-)

Hello Guy,

no, there isn't, because it tends to contradict the logic: they won't
appear to be simultaneous, if they are placed one after another.
You might try the methods described in

.
For the dynamics, this can be complicated, but try:
\override DynamicText.X-offset or
\override DynamicLineSpanner.outside-staff-priority = ##f (to be placed
in \layout) and
\override DynamicText.Y-offset and similar.

HTH, Simon

No longer baffling :-) Using the min-systems-per-page option forced
LP to put the systems on the same page and it is clear, when it does
so, why its default fitting algorithm does not! It appears to be the
non-musical elements that are interfering with things. I still had
to play with margins, etc. to get it to look "right." Thanks for
your help. Is there an easy way to tell Lilypond not to stack
vertically simultaneous directives like "a tempo" and dynamics, but
to render them horizontally?
