Hi Lilyponders, I have two questions in the following minimal example: 1. How do you move the "SOLI" text to the left so that it doesn't overlap the text? 2. How do I keep the ChoirStaff context but remove the opening bracket? Thanks for your advice, Craig %%% \version "2.19.36" \paper {

Re: 2 questions concerning skips and dynamics

I would recommend you to first typeset your dynamics in a normal stave attached to normal notes and make sure that you understand exactly how they are positioned relative to the notes. Then, you can simply replace the notes by skips and use them in the Dynamics context instead. A good starting poi
