Re: Allow dynamic + span bar line collision

I believe the default behavior in this case used to be for the dynamics to collide with the bar line. These days it is creating a bit more space for the dynamic. That's the right behavior in most cases, but not the one below. How do I allow the collision in this case and let the 'sempre' hang to the left over the bar line? I haven't figured out the right override to let this happen yet. Thanks.

Example:

=====

\version "2.19.63"

sempreFF = #(let ((dynamic (make-dynamic-script #{ \markup { \whiteout { \normal-text \italic sempre \dynamic ff }} #})))

             (ly:music-set-property! dynamic 'tweaks (acons 'X-offset -8.5 (ly:music-property dynamic 'tweaks)))

             (ly:music-set-property! dynamic 'tweaks (acons 'self-alignment-X LEFT (ly:music-property dynamic 'tweaks)))

             dynamic)

% Looks good

\score {

  \new Staff {

    c4 c c c |

    c\sempreFF c c c |

  }

}

% creates empty space

\score {

  \new GrandStaff <<

    \new Staff {

      c4 c c c |

      c\sempreFF c c c |

    }

    \new Staff {

      c4 c c c |

      c\sempreFF c c c |

    }

}

sempreFF = #(let ((dynamic (make-dynamic-script #{ \markup { \whiteout { \normal-text \italic sempre \dynamic ff }} #})))

             (ly:music-set-property! dynamic 'tweaks (acons 'X-offset -8.5 (ly:music-property dynamic 'tweaks)))

             (ly:music-set-property! dynamic 'tweaks (acons 'self-alignment-X LEFT (ly:music-property dynamic 'tweaks)))

             (ly:music-set-property! dynamic 'tweaks (acons 'extra-spacing-width '(7.5 . 0) (ly:music-property dynamic 'tweaks)))

             dynamic)

extra-spacing-width with a carefully chosen value seems to be one way to make it happen. This is good enough for what I'm doing right now. I'm still interested in a more general solution.
