In Moving objects, we saw how to move a TextScript
object. The same mechanism can be used to move other types of
objects; simply replace TextScript with the name of
another object.
To find the object name, look at the “see also” at bottom of the relevant documentation page. For example, at the bottom of Dynamics, we see
See also
Program reference: DynamicText, Hairpin. Vertical positioning of these symbols is handled by DynamicLineSpanner.
So to move dynamics around vertically, we use
\override DynamicLineSpanner #'padding = #2.0
We cannot list every object, but here is a list of the most common objects.
| Object type | Object name
|
|---|---|
| Dynamics (vertically) | DynamicLineSpanner
|
| Dynamics (horizontally) | DynamicText
|
| Ties | Tie
|
| Slurs | Slur
|
| Articulations | Script
|
| Fingerings | Fingering
|
Text e.g. ^"text" | TextScript
|
| Rehearsal / Text marks | RehearsalMark
