Thanks Pierre.
Although that wasn't quite the effect I was after, that section of
documentation yielded the solution I wanted.
I have read it before, but didn't really understand until I followed the
breadcrumbs to the Dynamics context in the internals. What I needed was
something called nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing within the VerticalAxisGroup.
The idea was that with the Dynamics context for the horn centered
between the horn staff and the treble staff of the PianoStaff, it was
ambiguous which staff the dynamics belonged to whenever spacing got a
little tight. This solution keeps the dynamics closer to the horn staff,
regardless of how the staves and groups stretch to fill a page.
Here's what it looks like.
Thanks again,
David

I need that baseline to 'hug ' the bottom of the melody
staff and I haven't been able to do that.
