Dynamics
Dynamics indicate the loudness of the music and can be combined with expressive text to give further clarification about how to perform the music. Dynamics can indicate an immediate change in volume or a gradual change over a specified duration.
Groups of dynamics
Groups of dynamics are automatically aligned in a row and can be moved and edited as a group. When you move immediate dynamics within a group, the length of the hairpins on either side automatically adjust to compensate.
Ungrouping dynamics and removing dynamics from groups
You can ungroup dynamics so that all dynamics in the group become ungrouped. You can also remove only selected dynamics from groups while leaving other dynamics in the group.

Ungrouping dynamics and removing dynamics from groups

You can ungroup dynamics so that all dynamics in the group become ungrouped. You can also remove only selected dynamics from groups while leaving other dynamics in the group.

This applies to all layouts in which the dynamics appear.

Procedure

In Write mode, select the dynamics you want to ungroup or remove from groups.
Do one of the following:
- To ungroup all dynamics in the selected groups, choose Edit > Notations > Dynamics > Ungroup Dynamics.
- To remove only the selected dynamics from their groups, choose Edit > Notations > Dynamics > Remove from Group.
Tip
You can also choose these options from the context menu.
