Re: Dynamic positioning in dynamic context

Hello,

I have an improvement request.

The dynamic context has a lot of advantages. Most important it makes a
uniform vertical position of all dynamics in a line. Unfortunately it
doesn't behave with the horizontal spacing.

The following example starts with a spacer rest measure. The \p in the
second measure is placed as expected. But if the dynamic has more width
it collides with the bar. This doesn't happen when I add the dynamic to
the upper staff in the third measure. Here you can find a small space
between the bar and the first note (d).

Can this be improved so that the width of objects in the dynamic context
control the spacing in the staff context?


\version "2.19.15"
\language "deutsch"

global = { \time 3/4 }
upper = \relative c' {
    s2.
    d4\p\( e \acciaccatura{g8} f4->\)
    d4\( e \acciaccatura{g8} f4->\)
    d4\ppp\>\( e \acciaccatura{g8} f4->\)
    s2.\! s
}
dynamic = {
  s2.
  s2.\p
  s2.\ppp\>
  s2.\! s2.
}
lower = { s2. s s s }
