Dynamics in scoring with multiple instruments
I was wondering that, when scoring a piece of music that encompasses more than one intrument, do the dynamics have to set for each one or can a single dynamics value be placed in the middle of the score to add its effect to the whole score? I know this is technologically possible in Musescore but my main query is whether it is correct to do so. Like I have done here:

Each instrument should have its own dynamics. It is fairly common for instruments to have different dynamics at the same point in the score, so to avoid confusion it is necessary to have them stated for each instrument individually even when all instruments have the same dynamic.
It is worth taking some time to look at published scores (eg from IMSLP) to see how such things are done.
