Inserting dynamics symbols

When you insert dynamics symbols, note the following:

• Select the desired symbol in the Inspector section and click at the position in the Score Editor at which you want to insert the symbol.

  Note that the “mapped” dynamics symbols have a different color scheme than the regular dynamics symbols.

• Crescendi and Decrescendi are updated intelligently, that is, when you have inserted a crescendo between two dynamics symbols and the order of these symbols is reversed, the decrescendo automatically becomes a crescendo.

• When you insert a crescendo symbol which is not preceded by a Dynamic symbol, the “assumed” start value is mezzo forte (mf).

• Likewise, if a crescendo symbol is not followed by a dynamic symbol, an end value will be calculated automatically.

  For a crescendo, this is one value above the start value, and for a decrescendo one value below the start value.
