Hi David, > you still fail to specify _what_ you actually want.
Sigh. I have specified exactly what I want. Several times. I'll do it again, in yet another wording, hoping you find this more clear: 1. I want a function which combines text and dynamics (as both \dynamic and \dynText do). 2. I want that function to set the [default] alignment such that combo dynamics with leading *dynamic* text are aligned as if there was no appended text (which \dynText does well, but \dynamic does not), and combo dynamics which have leading *normal" text are left-aligned with the left-edge of the notehead (which both functions do well). Essentially, I want the dynamic alignment as given by \dynText with the interface given by \dynamic. (Note that I have intentionally left out the post-hoc "tweak using the edition-engraver" portion of my process, since that part seems to be confusing you.) > Without such a specification, there will be no code doing what you want > because you just leave far too much in the open. It seems pretty cut and dried to me. What is unclear about the 2-point specification I gave, above?
