Thank you. That works for the given example. However, with more
complicated music that already contains multiple voices (as is typical of
the piano music where a between-staff Dynamics context would be used in
the first place), it doesn't work. For example:
MyMusic = { << { c'1 c'1 } \\ { e'1 e'1 } >> }
MyDynamics = { s1\ppp s1\fff }
\score {
\new Voice << \MyMusic \MyDynamics >>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
With that code all the notes end up at default velocity.
You mention that Dynamic_performer "lives at Voice level" by default. Is
this a default I can override, and would that help?
