Breaking horizontal alignment of dynamics and textscripts ¶

LilyPond uses DynamicLineSpanner grobs to horizontally align successive dynamic objects like hairpins and dynamic text, even if they are positioned on different sides of a staff. This connection cannot be broken, contrary to the vertical alignment (see snippet “Breaking vertical alignment of dynamics and textscripts”).

There are two solutions to circumvent the problem.

• Modify the shorten-pair property of the Hairpin grob to compensate the offset by which the hairpin was moved.
• Put the two dynamic objects into different voices.

Both solutions are demonstrated in this snippet.

{
  <>^"default"
  f'_\pp ^\> f' f' f'\!
}

{
  <>^\markup { setting \typewriter shorten-pair }
  f'_\pp \tweak shorten-pair #'(-3 . 0) ^\> f' f' f'\!
}

{
  <>^\markup { using another \typewriter Voice context }
  << { f'^\> f' f' f'\! }
     \new Voice { s4_\pp } >>
}

\layout {
  line-width = 8\cm
  ragged-right = ##f

  \context {
    \Voice
    \override TextScript.staff-padding = #3.5
  }
}
