RESULT
The specied dynamics are input. Voice-specic dynamics are placed below the staff by default,
even if they are input into an up-stem voice.
Adjoining dynamics, or dynamics that were input together or in sequence, are automatically
grouped together, both during note input and when adding dynamics to existing notes.
During note input, dynamics are input at the caret position. Voice-specic dynamics are input in
the voice indicated by the quarter note symbol beside the caret.
When you add dynamics to existing notes, immediate dynamics are added to the rst note in the
selection while gradual dynamics are added across the selection.
NOTE
Some modiers, such as molto, appear before immediate dynamics rather than after them,
even if you do not enter them in that order. This follows the generally accepted practice for
the placement of that text.
You can add modiers before and after existing dynamics. You can also hide immediate
dynamics later if you only want to show the modier.
You can also input gradual dynamics by clicking the gradual dynamic you want in the
Dynamics panel when nothing is selected in the music area. Then click and drag to input the
gradual dynamic and extend it to the length you want.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
You can move dynamics within dynamic phrases and change the placement of dynamics relative
to the staff.
