Dear Ben, how about this version. It combines some of the already proposed features:
- mixes dynamic text symbols and text - behaves like a dynamic script (DynamicText) - centers the symbol on the note head \version "2.19.80" % combine dynamic as markup that looks like what you want it to look like markupText = \markup { f \normal-text \italic "stretto" } % turn this markup (i.e. text) into a dynamic text like \f or \pp dynamicText = #(make-dynamic-script markupText) % self-align it to the anchor point such that the f is under the note head fstretto = -\tweak DynamicText.self-alignment-X #-0.8 \dynamicText { c'\fstretto c' c' c' } Best, Joram _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
