I'm surprised this issue seems not yet reported (at least I did not find it on the tracker).
The example below is "extreme". I used 16th notes in order to show clearly the issue. It happens in "real-life" scores with more logical rhythm also. Ideally LilyPond should avoid the collision (I do not know what would be the proper way to do that). At least in the case where there is a collision, LilyPond should emit a warning! This issue might be related to issue #1089 . %% DynamicTextSpanner collides with DynamicText if the notes are close %% to each other. %% \relative c' { c4..\p c16\cresc c4..\f c16\cresc c1\ff } Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
