Re: specifically: how to do "p-f" dynamics (first time, second time); generally: how to find this in the manuals

[Valentin Petzel]

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
