This depends on the house style of the critical edition. The NMA, for instance, uses non-italic for original dynamics, and italic for editorial additions. I don't know what is more common. I go for brackets, myself, as I think that's more clear than the italic/non-italic distinction. In the case of French music, I think I'd use "fort" for original dynamics and standard Finale "f" for editorial. That makes it pretty clear, don't you think? -- David W.
