Re: Dynamics above the staff?

Hi James,

A word of warning: Nick's solution mixes content (dynamic) with  
presentation (dynamic placement).

Put another way, if you ever wanted to switch *all* dynamics to go  
below — say in a second edition, where the lyrics are above the words  
and the dynamics below — you'd have to manually change every dynamic  
in the score [simultaneously ruining the original edition!!].

The \dynamicUp solution — suggested by several listers — is future- 
proof.

Cheers,
Kieren.
