Moving dynamics graphically
You can move dynamics graphically, without changing the rhythmic positions to which they apply. When you select hairpins in Engrave mode, three adjustment handles appear at each end. You can use these handles to lengthen/shorten gradual dynamics graphically.
Procedure
Result
The selected dynamics or handles are moved graphically, without affecting the rhythmic positions to which they are attached.
The following properties in the Dynamics group of the Properties panel are activated automatically when you move dynamics in the corresponding directions:
-
Start offset moves immediate dynamics and the start of gradual dynamics. X moves them horizontally, Y moves them vertically.
-
End offset moves the end of gradual dynamics. X moves them horizontally, Y moves them vertically.
For example, if you move a whole gradual dynamic upwards, both handles are moved so both properties are activated. You can also use these properties to move dynamics graphically by changing the values in the value fields.
Deactivating the properties resets the selected dynamics to their default positions.
