Re: markup dynamics wrong size

[Mats Bengtsson]

The best solution for you is probably to use #(make-dynamic-script ... ) 
to define all your dynamic commands, see subsection "New dynamics". 
Then, they will behave exactly as all the other dynamics.
I haven't investigated how much tweaks would be involved to make 
ordinary \markup commands work better in the centered dynamics context, 
but you will certainly always suffer from the same lack of vertical 
alignment that I just pointed out in an email with subject line "Re: 
GDP: NR 1.3 Expressive marks, second draft" on the mailing list. There, 
you can also find hints on how to use #(make-dynamic-script ) without 
having to learn Scheme syntax for markup commands.
