Re: Moving dynamics (with \dynamicsUp) to the left of the note

[Trevor Daniels]

Hi Reinhold

The only way to generate overlapping layout objects is with extra-offset, 
AFAIK.  So for dynamics this will fix the positioning:

\once \override DynamicText #'extra-offset = #'(dx . dy)

Note you have to specify DynamicText, not DynamicLineSpanner, for 
extra-offset.
