#### 8.1.8 New dynamic marks

It is possible to print new dynamic marks or text that should be aligned with dynamics. Use `make-dynamic-script` to create these marks. Note that the dynamic font only contains the characters `f,m,p,r,s` and `z`.

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 `normal-text`. See Overview of text markup commands for more details.

>          sfzp = #(make-dynamic-script "sfzp")
>          \relative c' {
>            c4 c c\sfzp c
>          }

It is also possible to print dynamics in round parenthesis or square brackets. These are often used for adding editorial dynamics.

>          rndf = \markup{ \center-align {\line { \bold{\italic (}
>            \dynamic f \bold{\italic )} }} }
>          boxf = \markup{ \bracket { \dynamic f } }
>          { c'1_\rndf c'1_\boxf }
