Hi Werner,
It *is*, since it is one (abbreviated) phrase: `piano espressivo' --
this is not the same as tagging the note with `piano', adding
`espressivo' somewhere else, say, on the top.
I apologise if I've misinterpreted your response, but it seems like
you don't get what Mats is saying…
Below, you'll find a sample of what I think he's talking about — and
I definitely agree with him. Note that this is not "tagging the note
with 'piano', and adding 'espressivo' somewhere else", but is
typesetting the one phrase 'p espr.' as a dynamic mark, rather than
as a markup (which behaves quite differently, particularly with
regard to alignment).
HTH!
Kieren.
p.s. Mats: is there any way to avoid having the \dynX tweak?
Unfortunately, I've never found a way to code the alignment within
the dynamic script itself…
%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.57"
dynX = { \once \override DynamicText #'X-offset = #-1 }
pEspr = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:hspace 0 #:raise -1 #:line
(#:dynamic "pp" #:hspace -0.3 #:normal-text #:italic "espr." )))
theMusic = \relative
{
c'2 \dynX e4(\pEspr d) c1
}
\score
{
\theMusic
}
%%%%%%%%%%%
