Re: fingering orientation

[Jonathan Kulp]

I believe Trevor showed how to make the change global in another 
response to your email.

The nicest way to do dynamics and the crescendo and decrescendo would be 
to use the piano-centered-dynamics template and put the dynamics in a 
separate voice.

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Piano-templates#Piano-templates

A quick way to add them to your code is to add a skip voice to the bass 
staff with the dynamic markings attached to skips.  They'll need some 
adjustments for positioning.  I suspect that the reason your hairpins 
weren't rendered is that they were started but not finished.  A hairpin 
begins with \< and needs to be stopped either with a dynamic marking 
(like \mf or something) or with \!.

Try this version of your lowerStaff code:

lowerStaff = \relative c {
        \clef bass      \key as \minor  \time 2/4
        <<
        { as2 | as }
        \\
        { s4^\< s8 s16 s16\! | s4^\> s8 s16 s16\! }
        >>
}

This will put the hairpins in, but the positioning doesn't look nearly 
as nice as you'll get using the piano centered dynamics template.  I 
would also recommend upgrading to the development version of Lilypond :)
