Small (perhaps not truly minimal, but small) example to demonstrate:
\version "2.14.2"
\include "english.ly"
notes = { f16 g a b c b a g }
\new Staff {
<<
\new Dynamics {
<<
{ s1\p }
{ \repeat unfold 5 { s2\< s2\> } s2\< s4..\> s16\! }
>>
}
{
\repeat unfold 6 \relative c' \notes
\repeat unfold 6 \relative c \notes
}
>>
}
3 systems:
1. Dynamics are too far below the staff.
2. Could *maybe* move the dynamics up in the first bar, but it's reasonable to
have both hairpin pairs at the same height.
3. OK.
Advice? I guess I can make a series of dynamics contexts, breaking where the
register changes, but... seems rather onerous, e.g.
<<
{
\new Dynamics { ... for higher register music ... }
\new Dynamics { ... switches to lower register ... }
}
\relative c'' { ... the notes ... }
>>
Thanks,
James
