http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Dynamics.html#Dynamics I found the answer to your question. It's the DynamicTextSpanner object that has to be tweaked. Adding the override below moves your cresc marking down and to the left (the firs number in the list (-5) moves it to the left, and the second moves it down). I personally like the extra-offset property since it allows me to move an object in any way with only one command. I would assume that 'padding' and 'center-align' properties would also work. The extra-offset property is defined in the 'grob-interface' which is inherited by most objects. The way to find out which preperties can be tweaked for a particualr object is to look in the documentation (Dynamics in this case) and check the name of the object. This name is hyperlinked to the Program Reference in which the properties for this object are listed. Further, the interfaces supported by that object are linked from this page and those proerties can also be set through this object. All that may or may not help you understand the documentation better ;-). best, /Henrik \set crescendoText = \markup { \italic "poco a poco cresc." } \set crescendoSpanner = #'dashed-line \override DynamicTextSpanner #'extra-offset = #'(-5.0 . -3.0) r4 \times 2/3 { a8->( \accent \< bes a) \!} r4 _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
