Hi David,
I wasn't really able to make sense of everything you said. Have you
considered using a global variable that is in every staff? That can be
useful for adding things (you could put your invisible dynamics in it for
instance).
As for your question about the mid context I'm not sure exactly what you
have done, but it sounds like it's just a standalone music expression? I
would need to see more code to be sure.
