Merci, Gilles.  That does get rid of the dynamics... but breaks
partcombine (in 2.12.3, at least), leaving clashing note columns.

I ended up using a Dynamics context anyway... I had to restructure the
music to line up lyrics for the MIDI correctly anyway, and the
appearance is better with the dynamics centered on the piano staff.

I’ve been doing simple tunes for so long... guess I’d better get used to
using globals.

Thanks,
Chris
