You know you can change your default tuplet settings for a document, right? When you start a new doc, go to Document Options | Tuplets and set all tuplets to above. Or change this setting in your template, and then all new docs based on that will inherit the setting. Or am I misunderstanding?

Changing defaults affects all staves. Randolph is suggesting a different setting for vocal parts only, in both tuplets and dynamics. There are other ways to achieve this, but it does seem to me that a staff style would be an efficient way to do it.

Duplicate dynamics? Why not just place the regular dynamic in the score and then shift-drag it to over the staff? This seems quicker to me than applying a staff style.
