Yes, moving the dynamics is probably how it should be fixed. > But anyway, have you heard whether anyone is working on dynamic collision? No, but the problem of text collision in general is on the far-future todo. BTW, there's no explicit bug in our bug archive about dynamics colliding with notes; can you send a short .ly example when this occurs? -- Erik Sandberg Maintainer of the Lilypond bug CVS archive, http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/lilypond/lily-bugs/bugs/ http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/bugs/out/index.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
