thanks for the answer. I am aware of the possibility to have the dynamics in a separate voice - and it might be the solution here. I am however not fond of having to enter dynamics in a voice "without music" - for the score in question I have 16 voices each with their own (polyphonic) dynamic markings - and in a score where the time signature changes frequently, it is not trivial to write spacers until bar 125 to be able to put a dynamic mark in bar 126. The overall tempo markings are currently defined in the first of the "active" voices in that particular bar - and the displayed tempo marking is automatically placed on top of the system. But when I try to make more dynamic tempo adjustments (ritardando, stringendo etc.) - that just as well as an overall tempo marking implicitly has a scope of the entire system - the displayed marking goes to the staff and not the system. Are there any plans on making a "SystemSpanner" or similar that will combine the flexibility from the TextSpanner with the "only on top of system" property from \tempo and \mark ? What I'd like to do is to write a command that puts the output of TextSpanner to the top staff in the system, regardless of which staff it is defined in. Is it possible by tweaking something or do I need to make the dynamics voice separate? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/no-subject-tp157866p157884.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
