Re: specifically: how to do "p-f" dynamics (first time, second time); generally: how to find this in the manuals
Hi, Maybe of interest: One of the musicxml to Lilypond converters (I thing it was the one from libmusicxml) add an event function called otherDynamic, which takes a markup as argument. Then if the argument is an atomic string markup it replaces words made up from m,r,z,f,p,s as dynamic text, everything else as italic. The result is then returned as dynamic script. So with this you can do \otherDynamic "p – f" appended just like any other dynamic event. Cheers, Valentin Am Samstag, 27.

Hi; Regarding the old fable: "Give me a fish, I can eat for a meal; Give me a fishing pole, I can eat for a lifetime."... I can't remember how to do dynamics pertaining to an implied repeat. The music has "p -f" for dynamic marking. The general problem: How do I search (what phrases should I use) to find this information in the manual? Thanks, Ken Wolcott
