I know this won't help you with an already finished score, but  
recently I've started to put all my dynamics in a separate Voice which  
contains only dynamic marks and spacer notes. The spacer notes help me  
to layout the dynamics exactly the way I want, starting at the  
position I would like. And of course, it makes it much more convenient  
to create a reduced score that includes the dynamics. I just add the  
dynamicsVoice to the pianoScore or to the guitarScore.

Hope this helps,
