Subject: Re: How to move markup horizontally
Hi Joe,

Here are two possible solutions:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.58"
\markup \bold "This keeps the 'R.' and dynamic fixed together:"
\relative c' {
d4 -\tweak self-alignment-X #0.375 _\markup \concat { \lower #0.25 R.
\hspace #1.5 \dynamic p } d d d }
\markup \bold "This places the 'R.' separately from the dynamic:"
\relative c' {
d4\p -\tweak self-alignment-X #2.375 -\tweak Y-offset #-5 _\markup "R." d d
d } %%% SNIPPET ENDS
I think I prefer the second, since "p" is a dynamic, and "R." is [ultimately] a
performance instruction. But I think either of these solutions are superior to
(e.g.) using extra-offset.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
