if the dynamics are the same, it's better to write them just once.
thus
you:
1) save typing
Yes, if I were just starting, I would save
typing. This time I didn't discover this problem until I already had
it done the other way, so it's just going to be extra work. Yeah, I
know I'm whining about the hour it's going to take,:( but then I'm
retired :) so I have the hour available. Still it seems like an
obvious thing for Lilypond to do even though it won't help me this
time. Now that I know the right way to do this, it won't help me in
the future either, unless I forget, which can't be ruled out at my
age. :( :(
2) help lilypond so it does't need to waste time
guessing obvious things
and it can concentrate on the big stuff :)
I prefer to let Lilypond take care of the obvious
things so I can concentrate on the big stuff. I mean, do you
understand just how out of hand the national debt has gotten?
:)
<soapbox> One of the things I've learned in
40 years of messing with computers is that it's never a good idea to
make the human accommodate the machine. </soapbox>
Sweat not; I'll be fine. I know you guys are
covered up with work, and I appreciate what you're
doing.
The snippet
you sent is much the same as what I was looking for and couldn't find.
Thanks

If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be
"profectionist".
Any form of incompitence is an athema to me.
Metathesis??? Don't ax me.
Just between you and I, the grammar used by Americans are getting
worse.
I can only help but wonder what the cause of this might be.
It just ceases to amaze me how it could be the case, but mostly I
could care less.
