Hi Peter, Well I have a library file with over 150 custom dynamics, for use with engraving new complexity school scores. It's a big file, with all sorts of rare dynamics. I see no need to push non-standard or rare dynamics on everybody. Just make an include file for your score and add 'rf'. One could argue that the original composers are in error, or it's an obsolete convention, and perhaps this would mislead modern players anyway (the infinite discussion of the urtext!).
I don't see a need for rf to be added to the core set. [And amusingly I have all the ones Malte suggested. and lots of marks like 'f (poco)' and similar which is actually commonly found, and yet does not need to be in the core.] Andrew On Sat, 21 Dec 2019 at 23:42, Peter Toye <lilyp...@ptoye.com> wrote: > > May I suggest adding 'rf' to the built-in dynamics?
