Re: Levelling hairpins

[David Stephen Grant]

This is how I deal with it. Not exactly automatic, but works well for me :-)

\version "2.19.15"

dynPadYOn = 

#(define-music-function (parser location padding)(number?)

   #{

     \override DynamicLineSpanner.staff-padding = $padding

   #})

dynPadYOff = 

#(define-music-function (parser location)()

   #{

     \revert DynamicLineSpanner.staff-padding

   #})

testMusic = {

  c'4 g c'\< a'\f | c'4\> g c' a'\p

}

{

  \testMusic | \break

  \dynPadYOn #4

  \testMusic | \break

  \dynPadYOff

  \testMusic

}

This is too well known to need an example, indeed one is given in the documentation

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes#dynamics

where the solution is discussed

A Dynamics context is available to engrave dynamics on their own horizontal line. Use spacer rests to indicate timing. (Notes in a Dynamics context will also take up musical time, but will not be

engraved.) The Dynamics context can usefully contain some other items such as text scripts, text spanners, and piano pedal marks.

This is very true but the dynamics context is very cumbersome for this purpose alone.

Surely there must be a simpler way to align hairpins.
