Re: piano staff dynamics

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi, Michael:

> I am a little confused on how to implement.

See example, below.

The important thing to observe is that the dynamics that should be  
"in" both Staff contexts is only included in the upper Staff in the  
ENGRAVING BLOCK (i.e., the \score block *without* a \midi block),  
whereas it's included in both Staff contexts in the MIDI/PERFORMANCE  
BLOCK (i.e., the \score block *with* a \midi block).

As I said, there may be a better way of doing the same thing... this  
was all off the top of my head.  =)

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
