Hi Chris,
Finale actually comes with a pre-defined library of above-the-staff
choral dynamics: Libraries/Maestro Font/Choral Dynamics.
Cheers,

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.
Because if you have an SATB choir and instrumental accompaniment, it
can get REALLY long and slow! Why have auto-placement at all if we
are going to have to drag each and every one into place?
I recently completed a large SATB + orchestra work, and I made an
alternate set of dynamics with over-staff placement for the choir
parts. I saved them as a library for the next time, so I won't have
to do that manually again. I temporarily re-assigned my metatools
while working with the choir, then reverted to my original set of
metatools for the orchestra parts.
FWIW, I found changing the tuplets to above in the choir parts went
very smoothly and quickly with the Utilities>Change... Tuplets. One
shot, very easy. I can't imagine a Staff Style being any easier than
that.
