Re: self-alignment-X on DynamicTextSpanner?

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Simon,

You need to use bound-details.left for these kind of things. There you have 
the property attach-dir, which acts like parent-alignment-X for the endpoint. 
This one defaults to LEFT, so you cannot really get any further by this. The 
other way is to use the text property to add a \right-align to have the actual 
markup aligned to the right (you might want to change attach-dir to CENTER, as 
the fff does the same.

We can infact add some sugar for this, like here.

Cheers,
Valentin
