Comment #2 on issue 1364 by [email protected]: Enhancement: Dynamics should be printed *above* vocal staves
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1364

A slightly more definitive source: http://mpa.org/music_notation/choral_standards & http://mpa.org/music_notation/standard_practice.pdf
Page 9 of the pdf:
Placement of Dynamics
…
c) In vocal and choral music, dynamics are placed above the staff to be separated from the text.

Personally, I don't mind having to move the dynamics up manually, but it would be nice if lilypond could somehow see if a Voice context has a Lyrics associated with it, and automatically place dynamics above the staff if so. With the ability to override this behavior, should I so desire.
