Adding Hairpin Symbols
Some musical phrases vary dynamically, increasing or decreasing in
loudness for dramatic effect. SONAR lets you insert traditional crescendo
and diminuendo hairpin symbols that convey this information to a
performer, as shown here:
If the track is split into treble/bass staves, hairpin symbols are allowed only
below the treble staff.

when you are in a legal position).
