Hi James,

Currently we have snippets about DynamicTextSpanner both in
NR 1.3.1 Expressive marks attached to notes > Dynamics  and in
NR 1.8.1 Writing text > Text spanners .

It would be more consistent to have everything about DynamicTextSpanner
in the same section of the NR, i.e. NR 1.3.1, with a cross-reference
to this section in NR 1.8.1.  But that would make a lot of snippets
about dynamics together.

Why not make a specific section of NR 1. Musical notation  about
dynamics (e.g NR 1.3 Dynamics , containing what is currently in
"Dynamics" and "New dynamic marks" + the snippets moved from NR 1.8.1),
and another section for the other "expressive marks attached to notes"
(NR 1.4 "Expressive marks attached to notes" containing in the order
"Articulations and ornamentations", "Trills", "Slurs", "Breath marks",
"Falls and doits", "Glissando", "Arpeggio")?

I'd suggest something like:

NR 1.3 Dynamics
   1.3.1 Dynamic marks
   1.3.2 Hairpins
   1.3.3 Dynamic text spanners
   1.3.4 New dynamic marks
   1.3.5 Custom dynamic text spanners

NR 1.4 Expressive marks
   1.4.1 Articulations and ornamentations
         Articulations and ornamentations, Trills (with trills together)
   1.4.2 Curves
         Slurs (with a warning cross-ref about ties), Phrasing slurs,
         Breath marks, Falls and doits
   1.4.3 Lines
         Glissando, Arpeggio (but not trills here)
         We could add something about the horizontal line that means
         "keep the finger", "keep the position" or "stay on the same string".

What do you think?

I could help with that after February.

Cheers,
Xavier
