Positions of dynamics

You can change the positions of dynamics individually and their default positions project-wide. For example, you can override the default position of individual dynamics if you want to spread a dynamic phrase out wider so each dynamic is more legible.

You can move dynamics to different rhythmic positions in Write mode. They snap to noteheads and are positioned by default according to your settings in Engraving Options.

You can move dynamics graphically in Engrave mode, however, this does not change the rhythmic positions to which they are attached.

You can change the default positions of all dynamics project-wide, and their horizontal positions relative to beats, barlines, and system ends on the Dynamics page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
