Dear All, I'm trying to set a Magnificat for SATB with piano reduction. The problem I have encountered is that if I put dynamics into the voice parts, they all go into the reduction. I have done a spacer track
with dynamics in and they appear in the reduction (although too high up and colliding). Can I use a spacer track for the voice parts? As the dynamics occur at slightly different times in places, would I have to use a separate spacer track for every voice? I have read the documentation but don't understand
it. % Created on Sat May 17 12:46:01 BST 2008 \version "2.10.33" \header { title = "Magnificat" composer = "F. Dennis" }
