Hi folks I'm copying/transcribing simple piano scores (Diabelli Op. 163) for my daughter. In order to align dynamics properly between the left and right hand staves I went for a separate Dynamics context. Works great unless I need extended dynamics as "dolce" or "più" written with the help of \markup {}.
Let's assume the following snippets: % MVE --- \version "2.19.83" % Snippet A --- \score { \new PianoStaff { << \new Staff { \relative { c''1 c } } \new Dynamics { s1\f s1-\markup { \dynamic p \italic dolce} } \new Staff { \clef bass c1 c } >> } } % Snippet B --- \score { \new PianoStaff { << \new Staff { \relative { c''1\f c-\markup { \dynamic p \italic dolce } } } \new Staff { \clef bass c1 c } >> } } % End MVE --- In Snippet A the position indicator ^ _ - does change the vertical position but never to the "f baseline". I'm aiming for the result produced by Snippet B. TIA & Regards Stephan
