Hi,
Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to be very active in the review of
the GDP drafts, but I happened
to look into "New dynamic marks" of 1.3.1 and have some comments:
- The markup command for \roundf is unnecessarily complicated and the
result looks bad. The \center-align markup command is intended to
produce a column of (internally) center aligned markups. If you only
have a single line markup, then you should use \hcenter instead. Also,
the spacing between the parenthesis and the f is probably unintended.
Finally, there are some redundant braces (that you may want to keep for
readability). I would propose to instead use
roundf = \markup { \hcenter \concat { \bold { \italic ( }
\dynamic f \bold { \italic ) } } }
or (without the redundant braces)
roundf = \markup { \hcenter \concat { \bold \italic (
\dynamic f \bold \italic ) } }
- The main reason to use make-dynamic-script instead of a pure \markup
is not to get the horizontal alignment correct with respect to the note
head, but to get correct vertical positioning when you have both an
absolute dynamic and a hairpin starting/ending on the same note, for
example. Compare the following two examples to see the difference:
roundf = \markup { \hcenter \concat { \normal-text \bold \italic (
\dynamic f \normal-text \bold \italic ) } }
boxf = \markup { \bracket { \dynamic f } }
roundfdyn = #(make-dynamic-script roundf)
boxfdyn = #(make-dynamic-script boxf)
\relative c' {
c4_\roundf \< d e f
g,1_\boxf \!
c4_\roundfdyn \< d e f
g,1_\boxf \!
}
- As illustrated in the example above, it's not absolutely necessary to
learn the Scheme syntax of the markup commands to use
make-dynamic-script. A simpler solution is to first define a normal
markup, and then use that as the argument to make-dynamic-script.

I would like to announce the second draft of NR 1.3 Expressive marks.
Please proofread this section, and let me know if you find any
omissions or errors. Suggestions for additional snippets to include
(or replace) are greatly appreciated as well.
