Hi Damian, can you post an example? If I remember correctly (I may be misremembering) there is an issue in scores starting with \partial
But for example I use the following on a score: LVm = \musicPath PNO.left.Voice.main > \editionMod ed 1 0 \LVm { > \once \override DynamicText.X-extent = #empty-interval > <>_#(make-dynamic-text "col pedale") > } And it works properly. Hope that helps, Stéfano El vie., 6 nov. 2020 a las 13:41, damianlegassick (<damianlegass...@mac.com>) escribió: > Hi > > I can't persuade edition-engraver to add an \editionMod starting on the > downbeat of the first bar.
