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

[Carl Peterson]

* For the dynamics issues, see here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes#dynamics

* For the honophonic/polyphonic writing, my usual approach to these kinds of issues (in my case, Lyrics), is to keep as much writing (polyphonic or homophonic) in a single voice, then add a second voice only when there is overlap that needs to be notated separately. In your case, constantly maintain two voices (for each polyphonic element) and choose one of them to contain the homophonic music.

Cheers,

Carl

I'm trying to engrave some piano music where the dynamics don't belong to either of the staffs, but refer to both staffs. If I put them in on the RH staff, they're a bit high.

Also, I have to use the << || >> construction a lot because there's a mix of homophonic and polyphonic writing. I can't work out how to start (say) a crescendo in the middle of a polyphonic section and terminate it in a monophonic section, and vice-versa, as LP associates the cresc with the voice, and then complains that it's not terminated.

Is there an easy way to get round these issues?
