Is there a way to do this using a plugin? TG Align plugin says it doesn't support percussion staves with maps.

Cheers,
HP.

Dynamics are expressions.
You can enter a dynamic on the Top Staff, and then copy it down into the other staves via the shortcut ⌥⇣.
The copies will all have the same horizontal position as the dynamic on the Top Staff.

Hairpins are smart shapes.
You can enter a hairpin on the Top Staff, and then copy it down into the other staves via the Copy Filter.
The copies will all have the same horizontal position as the hairpin on the Top Staff.

I've never understood why TGTools doesn't align percussion staves. There must be a technical reason.
