Sorry - didn't see this before because the title included the word s p a m 
which means it's diverted to my s p a m folder.

AFAIK, all items in a dynamics context are vertically aligned; this is the 
point of the context: from the NR: "A Dynamics context is available to 
engrave dynamics on their own horizontal line."

So what you see is what's intended.  If you want pedal marks not to be 
aligned with each other, you'll need to take them out of the dynamics 
context.
