Dynamic text/staff symbol overlap

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello,

in places with tight vertical spacing it’s often useful and best practice to have the dynamic text overlap slightly with the staff symbol lines. I tried to reproduce this with something like the following:

\version "2.19"

\relative {

\once \override DynamicText.outside-staff-priority = ##f

\once \override DynamicText.X-offset = #-1

\once \override DynamicText.Y-offset = #-1

c'^\f

}

Of course the Y-offset command doesn’t override the collision avoidance. I thought disabling outside-staff-priority would do that, but still the offset doesn’t have any effect. What do I overlook?

TIA, Simon
