It is generally accepted practice (cf. Elaine Gould, etc.) to place dynamics above the staff for voices with lyrics: \version "2.25.10" melody = \relative c' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a4 \mf \> b \p c-! \ff d } text = \lyricmode { Aaa Bee Cee Dee } \score{ << \new Voice = "one" { \autoBeamOff \melody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text >> \layout { \Staff { \dynamicUp } } } If you *really* want to have both below, then here’s a solution: \version "2.25.10" melody = \relative c' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a4 \mf \> b \p c-! \ff d } text = \lyricmode { Aaa Bee Cee Dee } \score { << \new Voice = "one" \with { \remove Dynamic_engraver } { \autoBeamOff \melody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text \new Dynamics \with { \remove Script_engraver } \melody >> } You’ll likely want to have a more stripped down [custom] Dynamics context, so that other [non-Script] items don’t appear in your dynamics line.
