Re: Make dynamic script with long text

[Andrew Bernard]

Hmm. Adding extra-spacing-width seems to work.

ppecrescText = \markup {
  \normal-text \italic "pp e cresc ..."
}
ppecresc = \tweak DynamicText.self-alignment-X #LEFT
\tweak DynamicText.extra-spacing-width #'(0 . -20)
#(make-dynamic-script ppecrescText)

This idea came from a post from 2017.

What's really going on here?
