dynamics doesn't effect the lower staff of the piano.

I add "dim" attached to the upper staff of the piano but i want the lower staff to be heard with "dim" in the playback. How can i do it??? Thanks!

If the left hand doesn't follow the dynamics entered in the right hand, it usually is because each hand has its own midi channel.
Thus, if the music permits, you can use 1 common channel for both hands (each with a piano sound).

If you need occasionally different dynamics in each hand, you should use 2 midi channels.

In places where you need the same dynamics for both hand, I can think of 2 solutions (if you have 2 midi channels) :
1) in the Expression tool, duplicate the expression used in the right hand, select the text style "hidden" and place it in the left hand staff.
2) or : create an expression (no text is necessary, or a hidden text) to change the channel (via the Playback thumbnail) to the channel of the right hand, and place it it the left hand staff. You may need a second expression to revert to a different channel when needed.

I think piano has one midi channel... Infact in the "score manager" there is only one line for piano, not two for each hands...
I don't have time and patience to enter all the dynamics for the left hand (which will be hidden) it's a 115 page document... anyway thanks!

In the Score Manager, click on the little arrow to the left of the piano, and you will see both staves. You can give a different midi channel to each hand.
