Apologies, I rattled the previous reply off too quickly.
This is what I'd mis-remembered:
ppecresc = \tweak DynamicText.self-alignment-X #LEFT \tweak DynamicText.extra-spacing-width #'(0 . -10) #(make-dynamic-script ppecrescText)

Hi Trevor,
Really? Makes no difference at all in my MWE. Even afer correcting for the '=' sign in the tweak. Did you try it? What do I not see a result?

Subject: Make dynamic script with long text
Using make-dynamic-script generally works well for me. But now I need to have "pp e cresc...". This is all well and good, except I would like the dynamic text to run across the span barlines. The following MWE shows what I have. The text shies away from the span barline and pushes things around. I want it to just overlay the bar line as though the line was not there.
As a small explanation, in this context the composer uses span barlines as 'beat lines' not bars. This is why the set Timing.measureLength is there. Because of this, I am aware that I may be having here a system that is far from the norm, and so trying to use make-dynamic-script in a context it was not conceived for, but I do wonder if anybody can help out. Perhaps I am missing something very simple.
I do want to use a dynamic and not just markup, as I get all the advantages of alignment and so on if it is a dynamic.
