Inserting Dynamic Symbols
You can insert dynamic symbols in your score.
Prerequisite
You have set up the dynamics.
Procedure
- In the Dynamics or in the Dynamics Mapping section, select the dynamic symbol.
-
Click at the position in the Score Editor where you want to insert the symbol.
Mapped dynamic symbols have a different color scheme than the regular dynamic symbols.
NoteYou can change the dynamic symbols by opening the context menu and selecting One up (+) or One down (-).
Result
-
Crescendi and decrescendi are updated intelligently, that is, when you have inserted a crescendo between two dynamic symbols and the order of these symbols is reversed, the crescendo automatically becomes a decrescendo.
-
If you insert a crescendo symbol which is not preceded by a dynamic symbol, the assumed start value is mezzo forte.
-
If you insert a crescendo symbol which is not followed by a dynamic symbol, an end value is calculated automatically.
For a crescendo, this is one value above the start value and for a decrescendo one value below the start value.
