Have you tried \new Dynamics { \Dynamics } instead of \new Voice ?

Hi all,

Using a template for dynamics is a convenient way of writing, when dealing with voices following the same dynamics pattern. Basically it works very well for producing beautiful scores, and also controlling MIDI. But now I have found something that might be a bug, even if I hope it is just a mistake of mine. Here is a small example:

\version "2.18.2"

Music = {
  a'4 a' a' a'
  a'4 a' a' a'
}

Dynamics = {
  s4\ppp s s s
  s4\fff s s s
}

\score {
   \new Staff <<
     \new Voice { \Music }
     \new Voice { \Dynamics }
   >>

  \layout {}
  \midi {}
}

It produces a nice score and also the MIDI reflects the dynamics. But, if I name one of the Voices, which I need to for Lyrics, the score is still fine, but in the MIDI file nothing of dynamics can be heard. Just one level all the time.

\version "2.18.2"

Music = {
  a'4 a' a' a'
  a'4 a' a' a'
}

Dynamics = {
   s4\ppp s s s
   s4\fff s s s
}

\score {
  \new Staff <<
    \new Voice = "SA" { \Music }  % <-- named voice
    \new Voice { \Dynamics }
  >>

   \layout {}
   \midi {}
}

As you see the above examples are written for version 2.18.2, the latest stable, but I have tested also in version 2.19.42 without any difference.
