Re: How to get dynamics centred on a piano staff?

I'm trying to engrave some piano music where the dynamics don't belong to either of the staffs, but refer to both staffs. If I put them in on the RH staff, they're a bit high.

Also, I have to use the << || >> construction a lot because there's a mix of homophonic and polyphonic writing. I can't work out how to start (say) a crescendo in the middle of a polyphonic section and terminate it in a monophonic section, and vice-versa, as LP associates the cresc with the voice, and then complains that it's not terminated.

Is there an easy way to get round these issues?

Here
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes.html#dynamics
you can find that you can place a dedicated Dynamics context between the staves of the piano.
This basically is what you want, although depending on the nature of your material it may still not be completely satisfying out of the box.

\new PianoStaff <<

\new Staff = "right" { \right}
\new Dynamics { \dynamics 0

\new Staff = "left" { \left }

\layout { }
