    This question is answered in the second example of the section on
    Dynamics in the manual. Peter, can you provide a hint on how to make it
    even more clear?

      /Mats

It is very difficult to say any of this clearly and concisely.  The only
positively misphrased bit seems to be the phrase "spacer notes"; these should
instead be referred to as "spacer rests" as elsewhere in the manual.  The
example given in code and graphics displays all the desired features, so there's
no sense changing that.  Only the verbal explanation is in need of any possible
alteration, viz.:
"Because these marks are bound to notes, it becomes necessary to apply them
instead to spacer rests
(1) whenever multiple marks are needed during a single note, or
(2) whenever such a mark needs to begin or end in the middle of a note 
duration."

That last bit of phrasing could use some more work, but as I said, it gets very
wordy very quickly.
