Hi,
I am coming back to this often discussed problem in order to decide on a
working solution for my use case:
I want to have dynamics properly printed between the two staffs of a
piano staff.
My *experience* is (I hope this table is legible)
method Pro Con
-------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
Dynamics centered between staffs sometimes pushes staffs
context on one line (vert. aligned) too far apart
centering can be spoiled by
skyline at another place
dynamics can be broken no obvious way to center it
in Staff can even be moved inside (padding is not centering
the staff/slurs because of variable distances)
can be aligned vertically no default vert. alignment
on request (connected)
>From that I draw the *conclusion* that it is best to use both:
A Dynamics context usually as it is centered by default. Whenever there
are problems (bad centering, too strong connection between unrelated
dynamics, staves being pushed apart), I put the dynamic mark in the
lower voice of the upper staff. In addition I have to move some dynamics
in both contexts by hand sometimes.
To improve midi quality, I add invisible dynamics to all other voices if
I add it to one voice.
Is that a good working solution? What do you do for piano music?
Thanks for your advice,
Joram
