I presume that partCombine overrides the dynamic placement so that dynamics for the two parts are placed above and below, which seems a reasonable approach when the parts are more distinct than in the given example. Using ^ to override it in this case seems a tolerable alternative.

I know I could explicitly add a placement (like ^\p) but wonder why \dynamicUp doesn't do its job. - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - \version "2.25.9" musa = { \dynamicUp c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' } c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' } } musb = { \dynamicUp s1 c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' } } \score { \partCombine \musa \musb } - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - Kind regards, Michael -- Michael Gerdau email: m...@qata.de GPG-keys available on request or at public keyserver
