I've added some more stretchable space and a little padding to Dynamics,
so the pedals look better. If you think pedals and dynamics should be
treated differently, feel free to add a new context. I haven't actually

snippets.

I've updated "Les Néréides" (ie. removed the extraneous definition of
Dynamics) and fixed the text/dynamic alignment.
