Re: Dynamics placement in partCombine

[Paul Hodges]

I presume that partCombine overrides the dynamic placement so that dynamics for the two parts are placed above and below, which seems a reasonable approach when the parts are more distinct than in the given example.  Using ^ to override it in this case seems a tolerable alternative.

Subject: Dynamics placement in partCombine

Hi list,

the following code places the 2nd \p under the music but I'd like it
above. I know I could explicitly add a placement (like ^\p) but wonder
why \dynamicUp doesn't do its job.

- snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip -
\version "2.25.9"

musa = { \dynamicUp c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' } c'4\p \repeat unfold 3
{ c' } }
musb = { \dynamicUp s1 c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' } }
\score {
  \partCombine \musa \musb
}
- snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip -

Kind regards,
Michael
