Dynamics - features needed

Hi,

I’ve been typesetting some music lately that has lots of repeated sections with different dynamics each time. I have been trying to find a way to a) place 2 dynamics on the same note, or to make a dynamic phrase like f - ff (forte first time, double forte on repeat) and b) to include characters other than letters in the instruction (like the hyphen). if it can handle “ff (2nd time)” what’s the issue with “f - ff” or “f/ff”?

I’ve nearly lost an eye looking for these things in the help/manual and on here.

I think creating a Playing technique type Glyph is the way to go at the moment.

And playback can be managed by using the suppression properties to suppress different dynamics on different passes, although those real dynamics may need to be hidden in favor of the composite f - ff you suggest above

Indeed, @Derrek, if playback is important.
