Dear all,
as far as I remember, I'd one found an option (probably a plug-in) to detect and delete all unnecessary dynamics in a score. So e. g. if there's a p sign and some bars later again, it deletes the second one. I can't find that right know, am I blind?
All the best,
Ralph

Absolutely. Make it as clear as you can even if it means an extra dynamic marking or two. Of course I deal with mostly high school and civic groups but even when I do a college piece I defer to the make it as clear as possible what you want. So, I again agree, I would do it manually just to make sure it is not necessary.If there's a p section, some number of bars rest, and more music that's p, sometimes you want to restate it to remind the player, ...
