Hi,

This is my first post here and I hope this question has not already been answered.

I want to add harmonic analysis under my scores, something like that:

To achieve that I have used the script at the bottom of this mail. Something I had to do to align those texts properly though is:

  \new Dynamics \with {
    \override TextScript.Y-offset = #-3
  }

Without this override, I get this result:

Is there any way to have automatic alignment without having to use Y-offset override?

Yes, instead of adding your analysis to a Dynamics context, use Lyrics:

<<
  \new Staff \relative {
    c'1 | d | e |
  }
  \new Lyrics \lyricmode {
    \markup { \degree-text I {6 4 -3} }1 |
    \markup { \degree-text VII {2} } |
    \markup { \degree-text III {} } |
  }
>>

Best,

David
