Why use a space when you can use <> to hide it for printing and make 
it, therefore, readable onscreen? In most of my Finale files that I 
prepare for MIDI performance I have <p>, <f>, <pp>, <ff> and <mf>, 
which are all for setting dynamics that need to happen in performance 
that are not indicated in the score. Before Finale had a way to hide 
expressions (before Finale 97), I used blank ones (no space was 
needed), and then I couldn't tell from looking at the score what 
expressions where there at all.
