Hi Werner, > To be serious: How should this be handled in the correct way? Am I > misunderstanding how `outside-staff-priority` works?
From <https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/learning/outside_002dstaff-objects>: "changing outside-staff-priority of the Hairpin object will have no effect on the vertical positioning of hairpins – you must change outside-staff-priority of the associated DynamicLineSpanner object instead." So one would *think* the following would work: \new Dynamics { s2\tweak DynamicLineSpanner.outside-staff-priority #1000 \< s2\tweak outside-staff-priority #0 \tweak bound-details.left.text "rit." \startTextSpan | s1\!\stopTextSpan } However, there’s a collision (?!) — looks like a spacing engine bug to me. Using Y-offset solves your problem, but it’s as much of a hack as my first solution. ;) Hope that helps!
