That's exactly the kind of thing I mean by "voodoo" notation -- writing something different that what you want, thinking that somehow it's going to get you the right result whereas writing literally what you want won't do that.

How is a performer supposed to know the difference?

Actually, I guess as long as pppp and ppppp and pppppp all mean the same thing (as soft as possible), it's not such a bad thing. But if someone wrote something like:

pppp         subito ppppp

I'd consider it to be absolute insanity.


You make some worthwhile arguments, even if they're not something I agree with - it's a shame you have to use hyperbolic comments alongside them.
