Ciao Paolo, Unfortunately, this is a common problem with (mostly) italic fonts: When looking at the dynamic f in FontForge, you'll see that the glyph is sticking out of its left and right boundaries. <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/italic-box-overshoot.png> This exaclty matches the physical design of traditional lead type: <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/310.jpg> A *pragmatic solution* to your problem would be to re-define the dynamics definitions concerned, simply adding a wee bit of space to the left and to the right, as in mf = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:line (#:hspace 0.2 "mf" #:hspace 0.5))) This will make your output look like <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/italic-box-overshoot-dynamics.png> HTH, Torsten italic-box-overshoot.png <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/italic-box-overshoot.png> italic-box-overshoot-dynamics.png <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/italic-box-overshoot-dynamics.png> -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html
