Following up on that, is there any way of altering which way round other marks
go? I certainly haven't hit the lyrics/dynamics problems (apart from
Pennsylvania I haven't used lyrics :-), but the problem I have is accents and
slurs. Lily seems to prefer to put accents above slurs, while most music I
typeset seems to be the other way round.
Unless ... I haven't tried this, but would using phrasing slurs rather than
slurs get round this - I don't think I've yet had to mix normal and phrasing
slurs...
Cheers,
Wol

One possibility is to typeset the dynamics in a context of its own,
for example using the \Dynamics context definition from the example
"Piano centered dynamics" in the manual.

Hi,
Sane engraving rules position lyrics vertically below dynamics.
Is there a way to reverse this, ie, to position dynamics vertically
below lyrics? (The "lyrics" in this score aren't lyrics at all, but
another stratum of information showing a different musical parameter
altogether.)
Here's the snippet i've been working with:
%%% BEGIN TOY SNIPPET %%%
\version "2.9.16"
\new Staff \with {
\override DynamicLineSpanner #'staff-padding = #10
} <<
\new Voice \with {
} {
\times 4/5 {
c'4\f
c'4\f
c'4\f
c'4\f
c'4\f
}
}
\new Lyrics \with {
%\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-30 . -40)
%\override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-padding = #50
} \lyricmode {
foo4 * 4/5
foo4 * 4/5
foo4 * 4/5
foo4 * 4/5
foo4 * 4/5
}
%%% END TOY SNIPPET %%%
I'm able to push the dynamics down to where I want them by setting the
staff-padding attribute of the DynamicLineSpanner grob. But moving the
lyrics up *above* the dynamics is proving to be really tricky.
(I've been toying with the VerticalAxisGroup grob in the Lyrics
context, but all I've been able to do is create padding on either side
of the lyrics, rather than moving the lyrics above the dynamics.
Intuitively, it seems like there should be some way to declare a
stacking order of the different strata within a staff ("first
dynamics, then lyrics, going down the page") and it seems like maybe
the VerticalAlignment grob should be the place to set this up, but I
can't seem to tweak it.)
So any tricks for moving lyrics up above dynamics?
