Once you have a dynamic mark on a score, there is quite a number of “tweaks” you can make to customize the mark. This
topic discusses how you can:
8 Delete a dynamic mark or a group of them.
8 Move any type of dynamic mark above or below a sta.
8 Edit where a hairpin starts and ends.
8 Change the level on any text-based dynamic mark. These kinds of changes will be heard during playback and .WAV
le export.
> Replace a dynamic level directly.
> Replace the dynamic mark by relative levels.
> Play at a fractional amount louder or softer than the default level for the mark.
> Play at a completely dierent dynamic level than what is seen on the score.
To begin, ensure you are in Edit mode.
Delete Dynamic Marks
1. With the Pointer, click the mark (letters, hairpin, or cres./dim. text) you want to remove.
» The symbol turns orange in color to show it is selected.
2. Press either Delete or go to the Menu bar and select Edit > Delete.
TIP: To remove multiple dynamic marks at the same time, use Clear Special (see next).
Delete Multiple Dynamic Marks
The previous procedure may get tedious if there are quite a number of marks you want to remove. Instead, use Clear
Special:
1. Highlight all or any portion of the score where you want to remove the dynamics.
2. Go to the Menu bar and select Edit > Clear Special. Alternately, right-click and select Tools > Clear Special in the
context menu.
» A Clear Special dialog box opens.
3. Select the Dynamics checkbox.
4. Click OK.
Move Above or Below the Sta
You have the option of moving any type of dynamic mark above or below the sta in a few clicks.
1. With the Pointer, click the mark (letters, hairpin, or cres./dim. text) you want to relocate.
» The symbol turns orange in color to show it is selected.
TIP: You can click-select multiple marks by holding down Shift as you click them.
2. To open a context menu, right-click.
3. Click either Show Above Sta or Show Below Sta. Use Show Above/Below Sta to return marks to default
locations.
» Immediately the mark moves to the new location, but stays selected. Simply click anywhere in the score area to
keep your change.
