Dynamics panel

The Dynamics panel contains the different dynamics available in Dorico Pro, including gradual dynamics and dynamic modifiers, such as poco and possibile. It is located in the right zone in Write mode.

You can hide/show the Dynamics panel by clicking Panels , then Dynamics in the Notations toolbox.

You can also hide/show the right zone by pressing Ctrl/Cmd-9.

The Dynamics panel contains the following sections:

Immediate Dynamics

Contains dynamics such as  and , and modifiers, such as subito and possibile. Available modifiers are shown at the top of the section in boxes.

You can only input modifiers alongside a dynamic.

Gradual Dynamics

Contains dynamics such as  and , and modifiers, such as poco and niente. Available modifiers are shown at the top of the section in boxes.

You can only input modifiers alongside a dynamic.

Note

Pairs of separate hairpins are treated differently than messa di voce hairpins. For example, separate hairpins each have start and end handles in Write mode, whereas messa di voce hairpins share a single center handle.

Force/Intensity of Attack

Contains dynamics such as  and .

Combined Dynamics

Allows you to create custom combinations of dynamics, such as . The controls allow you to increase and decrease the dynamic on each side, and to swap their order.
