It's a good idea, although I don't think it's an end-all solution. Distance
between dynamics isn't always what determines whether you want them to be
related. It's not always calculable either. So, we would still need a manual
way, too, at least. If we had an automatic way, it would be nice if we could
turn it on and off (since it could cause some unforeseen alignment issues).
I do think it's a good idea, though, as long as we can still do things
manually as well as how we do them now. Maybe we could have something like
\autoAlignOn \autoAlignOff

I agree completely with this.

If we do this, I'd rather still have the option to let it match to the high
note, even if it doesn't by default. I have a question, though: If it
doesn't put both to the highest value, would it overlap the high note or
just put non-parallel dynamics?

Thanks for you reply!
