You can input dynamic modiers by entering them into the dynamics popover alongside an
immediate dynamic or by clicking available options in the Immediate Dynamics section of the
Dynamics panel. You can also add them to existing dynamics by entering the text you want into
one of the following properties in the
Dynamics group of the Properties panel:
Prex: Adds modiers before existing dynamics.
Sux: Adds modiers after existing dynamics.

Adding modiers to existing dynamics
You can add modiers both before and after dynamics after they have been input, for example, if
you want to add “sim.” instead of repeating dynamics across multiple phrases.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the dynamics to which you want to add modiers.
2. In the Properties panel, activate the following properties, individually or together, in the
Dynamics group:
Prex
Sux
3. Enter the text you want to add into the corresponding value eld.
4. Press Return .
RESULT
The text you entered is added to the selected dynamics as a modier. Text entered into the
Prex eld appears before dynamics, while text entered into the Sux eld appears after
dynamics. Modiers appear below hairpins placed below the staff and above hairpins placed
above the staff, and are aligned with the start of the hairpin.
Deactivating the properties removes the corresponding modiers from the selected dynamics.
NOTE
Deactivating properties permanently deletes any custom text entered.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
If you added modiers to hairpins, you can show them centered inside the hairpins.

Hiding immediate dynamics
You can hide immediate dynamics such as and , for example, if you only want to show the
dynamic modier, such as “sim.”, without its accompanying immediate dynamic.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the immediate dynamics you want to hide.
