Notation reference
Dynamics
Dynamics indicate the loudness of the music, and can be combined with other instructions to give the performer a detailed understanding of how to perform the music, while also leaving room for interpretation.
Niente hairpins
Niente markings at the start/end of gradual dynamics indicate that the dynamic either increases from, or decreases to, silence.
Changing the appearance of niente hairpins
You can show niente hairpins in two ways in Dorico for iPad, and you can change how they appear individually. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.

Changing the appearance of niente hairpins

You can show niente hairpins in two ways in Dorico for iPad, and you can change how they appear individually. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

Select the hairpins whose niente style you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
In the Properties panel, activate Niente style in the Dynamics group.
Choose one of the following options:
- Circle on hairpin
- Text

Result

The niente style of the selected hairpins is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
