Re: Dynamics take up too much space

[Rachael Thomas Carlson]

I am kind of happy that no one replied because I learned a lot while I
struggled all day with this problem; I think that I found the
solution!  

Instead of putting multiple text spanners in multiple Dynamics contexts,
put them into TabVoice Contexts with \tabFullNotation enabled.  This
will lead to a couple of systems that end up with funky inner vertical
spacing but that is much more easily remedied than funky spacing below
the system.
