Re: raise text in Scheme

[Kieren Richard MacMillan]

Hi, Graham:

> mpdolce = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:hspace 1 #:translate  
> (cons 5 0) #:line(
>   #:dynamic "mp" #:text #:italic "dolce" )))

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had already tried the same thing  
(that's what is in the docs), and was disappointed by the result --  
q.v., the following comparison:

%% CODE SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.9.5"
\paper
{
        line-width = 5\in
        indent = 0\in
}
mpDolceTrans = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:hspace 1 #:translate  
(cons 5 0) #:line( #:dynamic "mp" #:text #:italic "dolce" )))
mpDolceNoTrans = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:hspace 1 #:line 
( #:dynamic "mp" #:text #:italic "dolce" )))
\relative c'
{
        \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
        c4\< c\mpDolceTrans\> c2\! \break
	c4\< \once \override DynamicText #'self-alignment-X = #-0.45 c 
\mpDolceNoTrans\> c2\!
}
%% CODE SNIPPET ENDS

Notice how the crescendo ends far earlier on the "translated" version  
than on the "realigned" one -- I'd like to use the latter, but  
encapsulate the realignment in the variable itself (rather than in  
the Lilypond code).

Thanks,
Kieren.
