Re: Dynamics placement

Here is a compilable example.  It is a bit long, but I think it is pretty close to minimal.

In its defence: the first 32 lines are, effectively, snippet 739 modified to produce "dynamic text" instead of "text dynamic" (in this case, "mp dolce" instead of, say, "meno f").

Hi Graham,

a minimal example would have been:

\version "2.19.38"

music = { g'8(\ppppp f'!) s2. }
\new StaffGroup \new Staff \music

The code from the lsr-snippet has nothing to do with it.

Below a little longer commented example.

Clearly a bug, please report.

%% Following note is moved away by DynamicText
%%
%% Bad behaviour goes away if the second note has no Accidental
%% or \voiceTwo is used
%% or if \new StaffGroup is deleted or replaced by \new ChoirStaff
%% \new GrandStaff does not work as well, though
%%
%% Worked fine with "2.18.2"

\version "2.19.38"

music = {
    %% bad:
    g'8(\ppppp f'!) s2.
    %% good:
    %\voiceTwo
    %g'8(\ppppp f'!) s2.
}

\new StaffGroup
  \new Staff \music
 
%% Not required to trigger bad behaviour
%% Better visible, though
\layout { \override DynamicText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT }

Cheers,
