With apologies for continuing to flog this subject... I've taken David Kastrup's advice, and upgraded to 2.19.32, and I might now be able to simplify this problem quite radically, and eliminate some limitations, with a small change of syntax. Below is the germ of the idea. The thing I'm missing

Hi Dominic, i already had to deal with this particular prolem in many cases and don't know of any reasonable workaround. As others have mentioned, you can use either Y-offset in the Dynamics context or attach the dynamic signs to particular staves/ notes. Both ways have annoying side effects

+1 for the edition-engraver, but it's not possible to reflect the actual structure of connected dynamics... it's more a "tweak every single element" and because of the "outsourcing" (which is great for the "redability" in many cases) it's easy to loose the mind control about the musical struct

Hi all, I am so sorry, I pasted the wrong code in my first post... :-( Obviously the function needs a second argument, and that's the correct code below: \version "2.19.32" autochord = #(define-music-function (parser location chordDown chordUp) (ly:music? ly:music?) #{ <<

Perfectly right in my opinion! Of course, the current layout is already based on objects relative to certain other objects (in other words: polar coordinates), but the possibilities to tweak a position is mostly limited to basic X-/Y-offsets to ONE specific object. I think the ultimate goal o
