subito PP

[Benjamin Tordoff]

Hi all,

I'm typesetting a score that uses "subito p" and "subito pp" in a couple of 
places. I've found snippets explaining how to get this to look right (subito in 
normal italics, the "p" or "pp" in dynamic font), and another snippet showing 
how to create a custom dynamic that correctly sets the midi volume, but not one 
that does both. What is the best way to add a text prefix to a dynamic whilst 
also retaining the dynamic's effect on MIDI output?

\version "2.23.10"
subPP = \markup{ \italic{sub.} \dynamic pp }

\score {
  {
    c'2-\ff c'2-\subPP % Volume should be pp but is still ff
  }
  \layout {}
  \midi {}
}

Thanks

Ben
