Description

Your idea

An option that allows the use of opticalCenter for dynamics even when the alignment type "center on notehead" is selected, but only when there is no additional text (e.g., "dolce", "subito") attached to the dynamic.

Problem to be solved

When the score style default for dynamics alignment is set to "center on notehead (Image)," plain dynamic markings (such as "p" or "f") appear visually off-centered and often need manual adjustment. In some cases, it's desirable to use "center on notehead" for dynamics with additional text (e.g., "p dolce", "f sub."), while using the optical center for standalone dynamics.
