Re: How to get dynamics centred on a piano staff?

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello Peter,

you can use a Dynamics context in the middle of the PianoStaff:

\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "RH" \relative c' { c8 d e f g a bes b | c1 }
\new Dynamics = "dyn" { s1\p\< s1\f }
\new Staff = "LH" \relative c { \clef "bass" c8 d e f g a bes b | c1 } >>

HTH,
Jan-Peter
