David Nalesnik wrote Sunday, November 02, 2014 1:08 PM Yes, I would say it's definitely a bug. This is a bit of misuse of self-alignment-X, but the same happens with this line: \once \override DynamicText.self-alignment-X = #5 So, possibly it's a problem with the Dynamics context?

David, you wrote Sunday, November 02, 2014 12:44 PM No, it's not a problem with \offset. Substitute this for the call to \offset, and you'll see that it's actually an issue with X-offset here: \once \override DynamicText.X-offset = #-3 Ah, sorry to cast invalid aspersions on \offset,

Yay! This is an example where \offset is useful! Try this: \once \offset X-offset -3 DynamicText Hi Trevor, thanks, that's cool! However, how can I control the Y position? Y-offset does not work: Warning: the property 'Y-offset of #Grob DynamicText cannot be offset Joram
