I would like the hairpins in the top staff to be above the staff and the hairpins in the bottom staff to be below the staff. How can this be done?
Thank you for your help in advance
I mean: how to do it globally.
The answer depends probably on how the two staves in your system are set up. Are they four vocal staves condensed? A piano grand staff?

Two vocal systems and symphonic orchestra.
I have been trying to move the hairpins one at a time, but sometimes they jump back between the staves.
Is the bottom vocal system using a different “instrument” than the top one? Like Soprano and Tenor? In that case, you can try Library>Instruments>Tenor (if so). There, uncheck “Vocal staff”.
(In the instruments Dialog, you can type “score” in the search field, you’ll see all the instruments that you are actually using in this file, since their names are followed by (in score))
In the instruments Dialog is “Choir (reduction) (in score)”
The choir is one instrument, if I understand correctly.
I solved the problem. I removed the hairpin that was the issue and rewrote it. After that, I can move them without them bouncing to the wrong places. Now, however, I have to move each hairpin separately.
Oh I see, I didn’t know this “instrument”, I just had a look. In such a case, it is not that easy to have two staves behaving differently, I guess. At least, I have no idea! But someone else will probably find a solution?
If you select one of the concerned hairpins and press Ctrl+Shift+A (or Cmd+Shift+A) 2 or 3 times, it should select all the hairpins/dynamics of this stave. Then you press F and they will all move in one shot.
