dynamics variable anchor

• Jan 20, 2015 - 14:26

In a lot of choir score, as the lyrics are above the staff , and to make easier the reading, some musical information are above the staff
* dynamics : f , p ....
* lines : (de)crescendo
for the one I see regularly (articulation are as for instrumentists...)

For now I use in Beta 2.0 to test the vertical offset after having

Is that the right way to do it ?

Could we have an option somewhere (linked to instrument as it is specific to choir, and when choir plays with an orchestra to make the whole score we have both above and under the score) to set it where it should as default ?
Or as we have for articulation in style general ?

I also noticed that keybord have dynamics and dynamics that are made with lines in the middle of the system (exept if it is only per one staff , above for "right hand staff" and below for "left hand staff")...

Ideally, I think it should be possible to set any given staff to have unique Style settings, so you could have Dynamics text style different for vocal staves versus other staves and same with other style settings. That would make a good enhancement for a future version.

Meanwhile, I would simply create a new style based on Dynamics but set to appear above the staff, then select all dynamics on the vocal staff (right click one, Select / All similar elements in same staff), and use the Inspector to change the style to the next one you create.
