But thanks to "glueing" (i.e. using above mentioned infinite extra-spacing-height trick), extra-spacing-width works too! So now I can also fix dynamic text touching the bar: \override DynamicText.extra-spacing-width = #'(-0.2 . 0.2) Here is the PDF with both overrides: http://paste.przemoc.net/lilypond/piano-centered-dynamics/piano-centered-dynamics-workaround.pdf > > BTW, this does NOT work with 2.18.2, but it does with 2.19.35 at least. > Haven't checked the other devel versions.
