Hi,

I am adding back the list in CC. Please always include the list in your
replies (use "Reply to all", not "Reply"). This way, everyone can
participate.

The problem is that you are misunderstanding the syntax of \mp. It
is not something standalone, it attaches to a note or rest or spacer
rest. The code

\version "2.23.80"

\new Dynamics {
  s1 \p
  s \>
  s \!
  s1*6
  \mf
}


would be more clearly formatted as

\version "2.23.80"

\new Dynamics {
  s1 \p
  s \>
  s \!
  s1*6\mf
}


The \mf dynamic attaches to the beginning of the
s1*6 spacer rest, just like it attaches to the
first note in this example:

\version "2.23.80"

{
  c'1\mf c'1
}


So, you need to move \mf to the next spacer after s1*6.

\version "2.23.80"

\new Dynamics {
  s1 \p
  s \>
  s \!
  s1*6
  s1\mf
}

Alternatively, you could attach the dynamic to a so-called
"empty chord". The above is equivalent to

\version "2.23.80"

\new Dynamics {
  s1 \p
  s \>
  s \!
  s1*6
  <>\mf
  s1
}


Best,
Jean




Alternatively, attach it to a so-called "empty chord"
