Showing modifiers centered inside hairpins

You can show modifiers you have added to hairpins, such as poco a poco or molto, centered both horizontally and vertically inside hairpins. By default, modifiers appear at the start of and either above or below hairpins.

Procedure

  1. Select the hairpins whose modifiers you want to show centered inside hairpins. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Modifier position in the Dynamics group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • Above or Below

    • Inside

Result

Modifiers on the selected hairpins appear centered inside the hairpins. They automatically erase their background so the text does not collide with the hairpin lines.

Note

  • This only affects the position of modifiers in the current layout, but you can copy property settings to other layouts.

  • You can change the default position of all modifiers relative to hairpins in the Gradual Dynamics section of the Dynamics page in Engrave > Engraving Options.

  • You can change the erasure padding of modifiers centered inside hairpins, both individually and by changing your default settings.
