Greetings and thanks, Colin -

The second case is unexpected (to me) because I thought that \dynamic was a
font command, as is \italic. Even if the \dynamic in the second case is
attached to the d and then overwritten by the "meno", why isn't the "meno"
overwritten in the first case by the \dynamic?

Pondly,

Ralph
