I was wondering, what is the best practice for positioning the
dynamics ? Above or below the staves ? Should them be printed only
once for all the ChoirStaff, or for each staff?
Gould says (p 465, under "Choral writing"):
_Dynamics, expression marks and technical instructions_: place these
above each individual stave so that each singer can see them
immediately (avoid a single instruction above the top stave, as this
will most certainly be overlooked).
and (p 468):
Two-stave SATB layout
Place dynamics and expression marks above the treble stave and below
the bass stave, to apply to both voices on each stave.
