Wow... that's cool.  =)

Thanks!

OK, I was confusing dynamics and text scripts. For text scripts this baseline alignment is very cool. But for dynamics what I'm actually looking for is *center* alignment in the vertical direction (rather than *baseline* aligment). In other words, in Kieren's example above, my preference is to see the p and f center aligned *as though the p were the beginning of a crescendo and the f were the end*.

Is there such a trick for *center* alignment of dynamic marks??

(And very cool settings for the baseline alignment for text scripts!)
