Hi, Maybe of interest: One of the musicxml to Lilypond converters (I thing it was the one from libmusicxml) add an event function called otherDynamic, which takes a markup as argument. Then if the argument is an atomic string markup it replaces words made up from m,r,z,f,p,s as dynamic text, everything else as italic. The result is then returned as dynamic script.
So with this you can do \otherDynamic "p – f" appended just like any other
dynamic event.
Cheers,
Valentin
