The general rule, set forth for example in the chapter on the NBA in
Bärenreiter's "Editionsrichtlinien" (latest edition: Bärenreiter 2000),
is that _all_ additions by the editor should be clearly designated as
such. This means _cursive_ for added text, dotted slurs [in my humble
opinion too fussy!) and so on. They go on to write that "all text taken
over from the source, including dynamic signs like f and p etc.[and your
poco forte] should be in normal, non-cursive print." (p.63f.) Of course,
if you want to put such markings in cursive, as Finale and Sibelius seem
to want to do, that you can put your additions in [brackets], which is
not particularly beautiful but has the advantage of being intuitively
clear to the user.
Cheers!

Do you really mean "cursive" as in "handwritten in flowing
script?" Wow! I've never seen Finale nor Sibelius try to
use a handwriting font -- could you please more be specific
about what you mean by "cursive?"
