Hi all,

Problem/Use-Case: a Dynamics context is centered between two piano staves 
(i.e., Staff contexts), and the engraver wants to put one or more dynamic 
markings above the upper Staff [resp. below the lower Staff].

Current Solutions: 1. put “outlier” dynamics in the right-hand [resp. 
left-hand] music/Staff, or their own variable simultaneous-ed in with the music 
variable; or, 2. \override DynamicText.extra-offset, done post-spacing.

Desired Solution: temporarily override the alignAboveContext [resp. 
alignBelowContext] of the DynamicText, so that it can “pop” above [resp. below] 
the PianoStaff, as appropriate; this should happen pre-spacing, of course!

Questions:
1. Is the Desired Solution currently possible [with some mechanism I don’t know 
about]?
2. If not, how hard would it be to make this possible?

Thanks,
Kieren.
