Hello,
Fiddling around with the snippet "Centering markup on noteheads
automatically," http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=637 I came up
with something which might be useful (or duplicate a far easier
solution!). I realize that it doesn't address the problem of center-
aligning only the dynamic (the function seems to align the left
edge of the dynamic with the note -- hence my guess at an offset of
0.6). Of course, this offset would have to be adjusted for "pp"
"ppp," etc. At least this will give similar results for "p, dolce"
"p, espressivo" and so on.
\version "2.12.3"
pcantabile = #(
make-dynamic-script (
markup #:line (
#:dynamic "p" #:hspace -1 #:normal-text #:italic ",
cantabile"
)
)
)
dynamicTextLeftAlign = \once \override DynamicText #'X-offset =
#(lambda (grob)
(-
(+
(ly:self-alignment-interface::x-aligned-on-self grob)
(interval-center
(ly:grob-robust-relative-extent grob grob X)))
0.6))
{
\dynamicTextLeftAlign
a'\pcantabile b' c' d'
}
Given that the values would probably have to be changed in different
context, hard-coding a number to this is really not a very good
solution. Also, since the alignment is easily achieved with \once
\override DynamicText #'X-offset = -1. It's far easier to just use
that, and always get the alignment I want. However, you did give me a
brilliant idea. Chain the two together. instead of having a variable
assigned to the dynamic + text and a variable to the shift, I can
just have a variable assigned to do both at the same time, i.e.,
pcantabile = \once \override … #( make-dynamic-script…_______________________________________________
