Use Staff text or Expression text

will try, thanks!
Add dolce and dolcissimo as Staff Text, then manually change the Style property to Dynamic. If you want it to affect playback, you can add hidden dynamic marks as well.
If you use these dolce and dolcissimo marks a lot, you can edit a dynamic mark (pp, p, mp) on your score by overwriting the text of the dynamic with the text dolce or dolcissimo. Then copy the new mark from your score to a Palette (Ctrl+Shift+drag), and you will have a dolce or dolcissimo text with a dynamic value available for future use.

It's often treated like a dynamic in terms of placement, if not in terms of altering the volume. I've keep this and other directions in a custom palette along with alternatives for dynamics above and below the stave.

Strictly it is not a dynamic, simply an instruction on how to sing or play at that point.

To me, that is the "poster child" for expression text - the single most obvious example of why that type even exists (at one point, we had only staff text).
