To me this is flatly wrong. The only exceptions would be when an expression
modifies a dynamic mark (as: p e dolce) or in a vertical spacing emergency.
My reaction was the same, but I have another question. Our community band is
preparing a concert program that includes several pieces in which all the
accents are above the notes, even though (in the tuba part) the vast majority
of notes are stems up on the staff. Is this an acceptable variation, or a
particular publisher's aberration? It's a bit disconcerting to read, which
tells me it is not standard practice.
Not taking sides here, but in European style instrumental parts
(orchestra or chamber music), at least as far as strings are concerned,
I am more used to having "espressivo", "dolce" etc below the staff.
