Hi, there may be some issues I do not have in this simple example. But in principle extracting dynamics from music into a dynamics context is possible (second staff below): - Do not engrave the dynamics with the staff (remove engraver) - Put the same music in a dynamics context in addition (the notes are not printed there anyway.
I did not care about midi here, but that would be possible by removing performers or doing a separate midi score. Not having separate dynamics has the advantage, that it is easier for the midi output to interpret it right. \version "2.18.2" music = \relative c' { a\f b\p\< g f\! a\cresc c a c c\ff } \markup "Normal staff including the dynamics" << \new Staff \music >> \markup "Separate dynamics context from the same variable" << \new Voice \with { \remove "Dynamic_engraver" } \music \new Dynamics \music >> Cheers, Joram _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
