Re: tweak of the crescendotext
should I fill a feature request to have long dynamic indications (the textual part, not the dashed line one) automatically splitted to the next staff when the text goes out of the page ? like this : http://img115.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lilypondfi4.pngbecause if I do the line break manually, when the dynamic indication is not at the end of the staff anymore I get strange collisions O_o ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

It's precisely this fact that makes extra-offset so useful to me. /henrik ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: tweak of the crescendotext
Quoting Henrik Frisk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I personally like the extra-offset property since it allows me to move an object in any way with only one command. I would assume that 'padding' and 'center-align' properties would also work. I hope you know that there is an important difference between extra-offset and the other properties that can be used to move things around. If you for example increase the padding, then LilyPond will take that fact into account when it calculates the placement of the next stave, for example, to avoid collisions. However, if you set extra-offset, then only that specific object will move and everything else will stay fixed. Sometimes that's preferable, but sometimes not. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

At the bottom of this page:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Dynamics.html#Dynamics
I found the answer to your question. It's the DynamicTextSpanner object
that has to be tweaked. Adding the override below moves your cresc
marking down and to the left (the firs number in the list (-5) moves it
to the left, and the second moves it down).
I personally like the extra-offset property since it allows me to move
an object in any way with only one command. I would assume that 'padding'
and 'center-align' properties would also work. The extra-offset property
is defined in the 'grob-interface' which is inherited by most
objects. The way to find out which preperties can be tweaked for a
particualr object is to look in the documentation (Dynamics in this
case) and check the name of the object. This name is hyperlinked to the
Program Reference in which the properties for this object are
listed. Further, the interfaces supported by that object are linked from
this page and those proerties can also be set through this object. All
that may or may not help you understand the documentation better ;-).
best,
/Henrik

Re: tweak of the crescendotext
ok I got ityou're right... with a centered alignment, the dynamic indication become too imprecise to be readable. But putting the text on two lines give a nice result.\set crescendoText = \markup{\italic \column {\line {poco a poco} {cresc.} }}
\set crescendoSpanner = #'dashed-line
r4 \times 2/3 {\once \override DynamicLineSpanner #'staff-padding = #1 a8->( \accent \< bes a) \!} r4
\repeat unfold 9 { r4 \times 2/3 { a8->( \accent bes a) } r4}I really would like to have an automatic line break, diplaying "poco a poco" on the end of the first staff and the "cresc." at the start of the next staff. Well I could also do it by hand but it's a bit dirty
About the vertical positioning of the crescendotext. the property is in fact hidden in dynamiclinespanner #'staff-padding (even if there is no line span)that was the tip of the day :p

Well with a little vertical padding and a centered alignment it should do

As a musician I would be very confused if you used centered
alignment, since I wouldn't realize exactly where you want
the crescendo to start. As far as I can recall from printed
music, the text is normally broken over the line break in
such situations, at least if the crescendo is long (your example
seems like an extremely short crescendo to be able to do
"poco a poco"). Another possibility would be to do
\markup{\italic \column {\line {poco a poco} cresc. }}
But I'm not fluent enough with "contexts" and "properties" stuff, and the
documentation keeps confusing me.
is such a dynamic indication a TextScript or a DynamicText or something else
?... I tried some tweaks but everything failed.
DynamicText should be the relevant object.

Hi,
I have some notes where a "poco a poco cresc." must be inserted...
so I put

\set crescendoSpanner = #'dashed-line

and it worked, but the text is too long, it goes over the end of the page
and the vertical position make it collide with the \accent.

A quick example would be welcome
thx
