Please ignore previous mail - forgot to add the scores! I'm trying to align dynamics with markup text in a Dynamics staff and have found several issues:
1. Just inserting the text by attaching it to a silent note using "^" or "_" works as expected. See examples 1 & 2 2. Trying "-" is the same as "_". This isn't documented, and probably shouldn't be. But it would be useful to have this syntax for horizontally aligned text. See example 3. 3. Tweaking the Y-offset by 0.0 using "_" appears to change it to having used "^" if you see what I mean. Example 4. Tweaking it to -0.6 gives the result I want. Example 5. 4. In the Internals manual, the unit for the Y-offset property is not mentioned. This wastes a lot of time in experimentation, especially given issue 3! Regards, Peter mailto:lilyp...@ptoye.com www.ptoye.com \version "2.19.52" \language "english" \markup{\left-align "1.
