thx to both Michaels :)
looks like an idea, but when I compile
your source, I get a little drift between
"diminuendo" and "poco"
Best regards

Hi Group,
I would like to align markups above my staff - I checked the page regarding vertical spacing and found
"\override TextScript.outside-staff-padding = #3" but this just raised all markups but still unaligned
\override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f didn't help either...
Any hints?
Best regards

Hi Joei.
Well, I don't know if this is the best way to do things, but the way I've been dealing with this kind of thing is by abusing the Dynamics context, using it to hold and align all kinds of non-dynamic kinds of things. So, if I were doing it your example would be something like:
\version "2.25.1"
\language "english"
music = \relative c'' {
\partial 2 f4\rest c4
a2 c4( f)
d4 d8 c b4 b
g2 b4( d)
c4 c8 b a4 c
c4 b8 a b4( c)
}
textMarkups = {
\partial 2 s4 s4-\markup entfernend
s1
s2 s4-\markup diminuendo s4
s2. s4-\markup poco
s2 s4-\markup a s4
s4 s4-\markup poco s2
}
\score {
<<
\new Dynamics \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #4
}
{
\textMarkups
}
\new Staff {
\music
}
>>
}
The \override in the Dynamics context puts some extra space between the Dynamics line (here, the text) and the staff below it. Details in the docs at:
There's most likely any number of other ways to go about this, with many of them probably better than this. One drawback to this method being that you basically have to enter the music twice - once as the notes for the staff and once as the rhythm for the dynamics. But if it's a relatively short piece that might not be too bad - most of what I work with is pretty short so I don't mind doing it this way.
But maybe this'll at least get you started.
