over-written by the "meno" in the markup. This seems to be expected
behaviour. Can you give me a bit more information on why your second
case is unexpected?

Greetings and thanks, Colin -
The second case is unexpected (to me) because I thought that \dynamic was a font command, as is \italic. Even if the \dynamic in the second case is attached to the d and then overwritten by the "meno", why isn't the "meno" overwritten in the first case by the \dynamic?
