dynamic-positioning.ly <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n149192/dynamic-positioning.ly> The following problem occurs with both 2.16.2 (stable) and 2.17.23 (unstable).
My goal is to produce an orchestral score which both - uses *\partcombine* (e.g. to combine wind and brass instruments on shared staves) - has dynamics separately defined and attached to spacers, so that they can be duplicated in several staves Here are my observations: - If the dynamic is attached directly to the note, it is positioned correctly. - If it is attached to a spacer, it is positioned too far to the left, /unless/ the whole construction is explicitly wrapped in *\new Voice*. This 'solves' the problem in simple cases. - However, when the music consists of *\partcombine*d material, (which mine does) the dynamics are positioned wrongly, /even/ if I wrap the whole construction in a *\new Voice*. The incorrect positioning may seem small, but it causes great problems in a real-life score, cutting into barlines and looking very odd especially at the beginnings of bars. So my question is, how can I get the dynamics to align themselves 'correctly', i.e. as they would be if they were directly attached to the notes. Putting the dynamics in a Dynamics context is not really an option, since that will make them align themselves on one line, and I want the dynamics and hairpins to be snugly under the notes each time. Any ideas? I am aware that existing 'issues' exist to do with dynamic positioning, but many of them claim to be 'fixed' - yet they apparently are not. I have attached a .ly file containing a series of minimal examples to illustrate the observations I have made above.
