+Some dynamic expressions involve additional text, like @qq{sempre pp}.
+Since dynamics are usually centered under the note, the \\pp would be
+displayed way after the note it applies to.
+
+To correctly align the @qq{sempre pp} horizontally, so that it is
+aligned as if it were only the \\pp, there are several approaches:
+
+* Simply use @code{\\once\\override DynamicText #'X-offset = #-9.2}
+before the note with the dynamics to manually shift it to the correct
+position. Drawback: This has to be done manually each time you use that
+dynamic markup... * Add some padding (@code{#:hspace 7.1}) into the
+definition of your custom dynamic mark, so that after lilypond
+center-aligns it, it is already correctly aligned. Drawback: The
+padding really takes up that space and does not allow any other markup
+or dynamics to be shown in that position.
+
+* Shift the dynamic script @code{\\once\\override ... #'X-offset = ..}.
+Drawback: @code{\\once\\override} is needed for every invocation!
+
+* Set the dimensions of the additional text to 0 (using
+@code{#:with-dimensions '(0 . 0) '(0 . 0)}). Drawback: To LilyPond
+@qq{sempre} has no extent, so it might put other stuff there and create
+collisions (which are not detected by the collision detection!). Also,
+there seems to be some spacing, so it's not exactly the same alignment
+as without the additional text
+
+* Add an explicit shifting directly inside the scheme function for the
+dynamic-script.
+
+* Set an explicit alignment inside the dynamic-script. By default, this
+won't have any effect, only if one sets X-offset! Drawback: One needs
+to set @code{DynamicText #'X-offset}, which will apply to all dynamic
+texts! Also, it is aligned at the right edge of the additional text,
+not at the center of pp.

+% Solution 1: Using a simple markup with a particular halign value
+% Drawback: It's a markup, not a dynamic command, so \dynamicDown
+% etc. will have no effect
+semppMarkup = \markup { \halign #1.4 \italic "sempre" \dynamic "pp" }

+% Solution 2: Using a dynamic script & shifting with
+% \once \override ... #'X-offset = ..
+% Drawback: \once \override needed for every invocation

+ (#:normal-text

+% Solution 3: Padding the dynamic script so the center-alignment
+% puts it at the correct position
+% Drawback: the padding really reserves the space, nothing else can be there

+ (#:normal-text

+% Solution 4: Dynamic, setting the dimensions of the additional text to 0
+% Drawback: To lilypond "sempre" has no extent, so it might put
+% other stuff there => collisions
+% Drawback: Also, there seems to be some spacing, so it's not exactly the
+% same alignment as without the additional text

+% Solution 6: Dynamic with explicit alignment. This has only effect
+% if one sets X-offset!

+% not at the center of pp
