Re: align dynamic with text

[Trevor Bača]

Hey Ben,

When you're using markup as dynamics, don't you find that you're unable to include those constructs in hairpins?

I went through a period where I was using straight-up text for dynamics like you're mentioning. But the hairpin limitation moved me towards make-dynamic-script. It's great. The other big benefit being that indications that are made with make-dynamic-script align (vertically) with all of Lily's other native dynamics.

I've wound up with house set of dynamic indications, too, like Andrew was mentioning:

https://github.com/trevorbaca/baca/blob/master/lilypond/baca-dynamics.ily

Have at them if you go the make-dynamic-script way.

Trevor.

Hi Mark,

This may be what you are thinking of. This way makes a proper dynamic, not just text markup.

Great piece of code Andrew. Thanks for that.

The only reason I tend to use the alternative 'markup' approach is if I want to (need to) always have the entire expressive text centered as one unit with the dynamic under the notehead vs. half on each side.

Much easier I find when I need to do that.
