Aligning dynamics

There is a special command for aligning dynamic symbols (including crescendos) horizontally. Unlike the regular align function, aligning dynamics takes the “baseline” of the dynamic letters into account, aligning them as text rather than as graphic symbols.

Procedure

  1. Select the dynamic symbols that you want to align, such as pp and a crescendo.
  2. Right-click on a selected symbol and select the “Align” function on the context menu.

    This aligns all selected dynamics (except slurs and beziers) horizontally.

    You can also align the dynamic objects by opening the Scores menu and selecting “Dynamics” from the Align Elements submenu.
