Well, you don't have a text, tweakable at it's own, but a _DynamicTextSpanner_ with some text. In close to all cases you wouldn't want a working X-offset affecting the _whole_ DynamicTextSpanner. Rather you want the left text moved (but the dashed line adjusted accordingly, leaving the right bound in place) Therefore we have the bound-details-property: \fixed c' { \override DynamicTextSpanner.bound-details.left.padding = -3 c4 \cresc c c c | c4 c c c \! } Ofcourse, you could set right.padding as well, if desired, etc Several line-spanners act similar.
