It does adjust vertical offsets in a sensible way for isolated dynamic marks: below the lower of the note or the bottom staff line. You can tweak the vertical position as much as you want.
This would not suit all purposes. If people would suggest an alternate set of rules for above-the-staff text, I'd consider adding the option. It's easiest to associate the item horizontally with a note. Unfortunately the rules cannot involve adjacent notes (without breaking the programming bank). If there is a TeX macro that does it all, I could include a hook to it from PMX. Otherwise it would probably use some version of \zcharnote. --Don Simons, going to catch an airplane. _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
