I went to HDM, and it says "loud, followed by soft". I have only seen it at the beginning of a repeated section, before the first note, where the sense I gave it is perfectly clear. You may have seen it often in the sense of sfz, but I have not. Clearly sfz is preferable anyway? All the more reason why it can't be implemented as a simple \dynamic with midi, though. Especially if it varies from composer to composer as you say. daveA -- It's not that hard to understand the lesson of Viet Nam. Never never never never defend one tyrant against another, because The worst thing that can happen is you might win. The *Gulf* war was worse than Nam. D.
