Thanks for the explanation. The problem is, I want to eat my cake and have it too: I want a function (cf. \dynText) which combines a dynamic text with a piece of normal text and automatically sets the correct alignment (i.e., with the dynamic portion aligned as if there were no subsequent normal text), but I want to be able to manually tweak it afterwards (to avoid collisions, improve score aesthetics, etc.). Unfortunately, that "layout-time" tweak — which may be different for different "editions" — cannot be cooked into the function without (e.g.) tagging or similar content-presentation mixing, which I'd desperately like to avoid. Can \dynText or similar be fashioned in such a way that leaves open the possibility of [effectively] tweaking the grob later in the process?
