Subject: Re: dynamics seperatate from the notes entry
Yes, you can place the dynamics above the staff, but I don't really see
the
point of that. Now your forte collides with the tempo mark. And in choir
notes
it would only solve any potential collisions between dynamics and lyrics
for
one staff only.
The point of doing it is that it's the correct way to do it. We singers
like to have clear lyrics, since we need to assimilate them quickly when
sight reading. Dynamics are less important - we get shouted at concerning
the important ones and ignore the rest.
Gould, page 434: "Dynamics, expression marks and verbal instructions go
above the stave in order to leave space below the stave clear for the sung
text."
