Re: Centering text between keyboard staves along with dynamics

[Marek Klein]

Hello,

2013/3/14 Michael Rivers <address@hidden>

Often, rather than just dynamics ("pp") centered between staves, piano music
adds a modifier ("pp dolce"). If I try to add the modifier as a text markup
in a dynamic context, the text isn't centered or aligned with the other
dynamics. Is there a better way to do this?

Yes:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes#new-dynamic-marks

mpdolce = \markup {\dynamic mp \italic dolce}

mpdolcedyn = #(make-dynamic-script mpdolce)

dynam = {
  s2\mf s\mpdolcedyn
}
