+1 for the edition-engraver,
but it's not possible to reflect the actual structure of connected
dynamics...
it's more a "tweak every single element" and because of the
"outsourcing" (which is great for the "redability" in many cases)
it's easy to loose the mind control about the musical structure.
(Lilyponds straight reflection of the musical structure is actually one
of my main reasons for choosing it as notation software)
Maybe we can get some interesting input by looking into other
layout/design software (for example SCRIBUS).
I imagine a way of positioning objects relative to any other object.
(this feature could be a nice workaround solution for most positioning
bugs)
In terms of dynamics you could group any number of dynamics and position
the entire group between staves/ skylines...

Hi,
Both ways have annoying side effects as blurring the visual and
structural representation of the musical content in your code
… unless you use the edition-engraver. ;)
maybe some of the experienced contributors can sketch a possible way
to create this.
In the extreme, this feature would simply remove the spanner/connection
altogether: dynamics would be free to float as they wished [modulo
collisions and padding, of course], with no impact on other dynamics in
the same staff/system.
The killer feature would be a hybrid, allowing explicit connections
and/or disconnections, while otherwise maintaining a controlled axis
throughout an entire staff/system.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how this could be implemented, nor the
skills to implement it if I knew how. But I would be happy to
contribute some sponsorship money (up to 50 Euros) to see that it got
done.
Best,
Kieren.
