+
+The easiest way to create dynamic indications is to use
+@code{\markup} objects.
-It is possible to print new dynamic marks or text that should be
-aligned with dynamics. Use @code{make-dynamic-script} to create
-these marks. Note that the dynamic font only contains the
-characters @code{f,m,p,r,s} and @code{z}.
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]

+@cindex dynamics, editorial
+@cindex dynamics, parenthesis
+
+Markup mode makes possible, for instance, to add
+editorial dynamics, printed in round parenthesis or square
+brackets. Its syntax is described in @ref{Formatting text}.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+roundf = \markup { \center-align { \line { \bold { \italic ( }
+ \dynamic f \bold { \italic ) } } } }
+boxf = \markup { \bracket { \dynamic f } }
+\relative c' {

+ c1_\boxf

+@end lilypond
-Some situations (such as dynamic marks) have preset font-related
-properties. If you are creating text in such situations, it is
-advisable to cancel those properties with @code{normal-text}. See
-@ref{Text markup commands}, for more details.
+Markup objects are treated differently from authentic dynamic marks.
+Defining dynamic objects that will be entered and printed exactly like
+standard dynamic marks is also possible, using the following function:
@cindex make-dynamic-script
-@lilypond[quote,verbatim,ragged-right]
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
sfzp = #(make-dynamic-script "sfzp")
\relative c' {
c4 c c\sfzp c
}
@end lilypond
-@cindex Dynamics, editorial
-@cindex Dynamics, parenthesis
+@noindent
+Note that the dynamic font only contains the characters
+@code{f,m,p,r,s} and @code{z}. To switch to other font families,
+it is necessary to use markup mode in its Scheme form, as
+explained in @ref{Markup construction in Scheme}.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+moltoF = #(make-dynamic-script (markup
+ #:normal-text "molto"
+ #:dynamic "f"))
+\relative c' {
+ <d e>16 <d e>

+@end lilypond
-It is also possible to print dynamics in round parenthesis or

-dynamics.

+Font settings in markup mode are described in
+@ref{Common markup commands}.
