Looks very good, well done. A couple of suggestions:

1.3.1, Dynamics, Vertically aligning dynamics across multiple notes

This example doesn't seem to work - it just aligns the tops of the
dynamic marks. There is an LSR example which uses #'Y-extent as well as
#'staff-padding. http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=387

1.3.1, Dynamics, Hiding the extender line for text dynamics

Perhaps the first sentence here "Text style dynamic changes (such as
cresc. and dim.) are printed with a dashed line showing their extent."
should be moved up the page to the point where \crescTextCresc etc are
first introduced, and that example could be slightly tweaked so that the
extender line is more apparent. (At the moment the default behaviour
isn't really shown before it's altered.)

1.3.1, New dynamic marks

The first example on this page unfortunately cuts off the top of the
'f'.

Cheers,

Mark
