Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
Use the dynamics popup to create a p > pp; the hairpin is input as a > because the logic understands that pp is quieter than p:

Now try the same with fp to pp:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/404290e5-49aa-4e17-b382-05e880e123b2
The hairpin remains < because seemingly the fp is not understood as 'f then p'; it ought to change to > just as in the previous example.
Same for ffp, sffzp, and similar dynamics.
