Re: tweaks don't apply to post-function grob

Hi David,

> you still fail to specify _what_ you actually want.

Sigh. I have specified exactly what I want. Several times. I'll do it again, in 
yet another wording, hoping you find this more clear:

1. I want a function which combines text and dynamics (as both \dynamic and 
\dynText do).

2. I want that function to set the [default] alignment such that combo dynamics 
with leading *dynamic* text are aligned as if there was no appended text (which 
\dynText does well, but \dynamic does not), and combo dynamics which have 
leading *normal" text are left-aligned with the left-edge of the notehead 
(which both functions do well).

Essentially, I want the dynamic alignment as given by \dynText with the 
interface given by \dynamic.

(Note that I have intentionally left out the post-hoc "tweak using the 
edition-engraver" portion of my process, since that part seems to be confusing 
you.)

It seems pretty cut and dried to me. What is unclear about the 2-point 
specification I gave, above?

Thanks,
Kieren.
