My usual approach, as always, is to use a separate score for midi:

%
% Just write your music this way:
%

upperPart = { ... }
dynPart = {
s1\ff   % ... etc.
}
lowerPart = { ... }

%
% The following can be pretty much copy-and-pasted to each
% piece:
%

% Score for layout
\score {
\new Staff { \upperPart }
\new Dynamics { \dynPart }
\new Staff { \lowerPart }
\layout {}
}

% Score for midi
\score {
% Explicitly merge dynPart into both parts so that
% dynamics will be applied correctly to both.
\new Staff << \upperPart \dynPart >>
\new Staff << \lowerPart \dynPart >>
\midi {}
}

Guy,

Thanks. I've found the thread. It seems fairly complicated, and as I only use 
MIDI for proof-reading (proof-hearing?) I’ll ignore the dynamics altogether! 
Life's too short.

Best regards,

Peter

\score {
