Thanks for your answer!

I avoid using the Dynamics Context, because it places dynamics far away
from the staff (even if with LP 2.15 it looks much better)- and hairpins
are still slightly misaligned, see attached file.

I can't really remove the New_dynamic_engraver, because it is an
orchestral score, and I would loose the dynamics for the other
instruments.

Thanks, TG
