Re: left-aligned dynamics

[David Nalesnik]

Hello,

Fiddling around with the snippet "Centering markup on noteheads automatically," http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=637 I came up with something which might be useful (or duplicate a far easier solution!). I realize that it doesn't address the problem of center-aligning only the dynamic (the function seems to align the left edge of the dynamic with the note -- hence my guess at an offset of 0.6).  Of course, this offset would have to be adjusted for "pp" "ppp," etc.  At least this will give similar results for "p, dolce" "p, espressivo" and so on.

\version "2.12.3"

pcantabile = #(

  make-dynamic-script (

   markup #:line ( 

        #:dynamic "p" #:hspace -1 #:normal-text   #:italic ", cantabile"

   )

 )

)

dynamicTextLeftAlign = \once \override DynamicText #'X-offset =

#(lambda (grob)

    (-

      (+

        (ly:self-alignment-interface::x-aligned-on-self grob)

        (interval-center

        (ly:grob-robust-relative-extent grob grob X))) 

     0.6))

{ 

  \dynamicTextLeftAlign

  a'\pcantabile b' c' d' 

}
