Changing the appearance of gradual dynamics
You can change the appearance of individual gradual dynamics; for example, to show a particularly long crescendo using “cresc.” text rather than a hairpin. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
Prerequisite
-
The lower zone is shown.
-
Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.
-
You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.
Procedure
- Select the gradual dynamics whose appearance you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
- In the Properties panel, activate Gradual style in the Dynamics group.
-
Select one of the following options from the menu:
-
Hairpin
-
cresc./dim.
-
cresc...
-
cre - scen - do
-
-
Optional: Customize the appearance of the selected gradual dynamics in one of the following ways, depending on their Gradual style:
-
If you selected Hairpin, activate Hairpin line style and choose one of the available options.
-
If you selected cresc./dim., cresc..., or cre - scen - do, activate Diminuendo style and select one of the available options from the menu.
-
If you selected cresc..., activate Continuation line style and choose one of the available options.

Result
The appearance of the selected gradual dynamics is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
