Yes, the interface is identical (but isn't it the SECOND last one that does what you say? I've never found a use for the last triangle.)


The drawback with this is that very low notes in the other staves will
NOT have their dynamics automatically pushed down, as the default
presently is. You will have to nudge or drag them manually.

In most pieces, and in most staves, this would surely not be a
terrible problem. I foresee it as a moderate issue only with the left
hand of piano parts.



Depending on where you set your lower baseline, it is also a problem for clarinet, bass trombone, tuba, bassoon, and low trumpet parts. I like the auto avoidance myself, and would have no problem duplicating expressions and assigning the metatools to, say, the row of keys below the equivalents for the regular dynamics.


Of course, don't the dynamics for a piano part go *between* the
staves, when the hands are not using independent dynamic levels?


Yep, so not a problem for you in many cases.
