The best way to move a text annotation further away from the stave is
to set the padding property. There are several examples in the
documentation and in the mailing list archives.
If you want a text like "f subito" to be treated exactly the
same as other dynamic indications, when it comes to posit
I need to move down f subito. To do this \dynamic f \italic subito
must be declared as one word.
What changes must be set into this command in v 2.2.5:
r8_\markup{\combine "" \translate #'( 0 . -1 ) \word #" \dynamic "f"
\italic "subito" "}
