Inputting dynamics with the panel
You can input dynamics and modiers using the Dynamics panel, both during note input and by
adding them to existing notes. You can also input different dynamics into each voice
independently in multiple-voice contexts.
NOTE
●
You can also change dynamics during note input by following these steps when the caret is
at the rhythmic position of the dynamic you want to change.
●
These steps describe inputting with the default mouse input preference Create item at
selection.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
● Start note input.
NOTE
If you want to input voice-specic dynamics, the caret must be active.
● Select an item at the rhythmic position where you want to input dynamics. If you want to
input dynamics across a duration, select items that span that duration.
2. In the Notations toolbox, click Dynamics to show the Dynamics panel.
3. Input the dynamics you want in one of the following ways:
● To input dynamics for all voices on the staff, click them in the Dynamics panel.
● During note input, input the dynamics only into the voice indicated by the caret indicator
by Alt -clicking them in the Dynamics panel.
NOTE
●
If you want to add expressive or qualifying text to the dynamics, do not deselect them.
●
When inputting voice-specic dynamics, you can release Alt once you have input the
dynamic level, such as .
●
Gradual dynamics have a default duration of a quarter note. You can lengthen/shorten
gradual dynamics later.
4. Optional: In the Dynamics panel, click the expressive/qualifying texts you want in the
Immediate Dynamics and Gradual Dynamics sections.
