Well, first of all, in the future, you can just paste code right into the body of your email, like I'm about to do--no need for an attachment. :-) And second, I would dispute that you couldn't get it smaller--like the page I referenced says, very few tiny examples are longer than about 10 lines of code. That being said...
You need to include the Dynamics context within your score block, like so: dynamics = { \time 3/8 \times 2/3 { s8\mf s32 s32 s8.\pp \times 8/13 { s64 s16 s16 s16\pp } s64. s64 s64.] } | } % All other variables go here, unchanged % { \new StaffGroup << \new Dynamics \dynamics \new Staff = "cymbals" \cymbals \new Staff = "temple" \temple \new Staff = "toms" \toms \new Staff = "conga" \conga \new Staff = "snare" \snare >> } Unfortunately, while this corrects the horizontal alignment of the grobs within the Dynamics context, they now collide with the beams, so the vertical spacing needs to be adjusted. I'm not sure how to do that without having to adjust 'Y-offset for each individual DynamicText, so I'm gonna have to punt this to someone else on the list.
