I didn’t get any hint by the manual, so I ask the forum:
Is there a possibility to write »1st time f 2nd time ff« or »f 2nd time ff« within the dynamics popover or somehow else?
The only solution I found was to do it like this:
first note: f (plus not mandatory prefix »1st time«)
later note in the bar: ff plus prefix »2nd time«
The problem of this solution is the engraving afterwards …
Is there any useful solution?
Thx Hans-Peter
PS: I don’t need a proper playback of this dynamics.
At present, there are some limitations for 1st-2nd dynamics, which can be written as “mp-mf” directly into the dynamics popover. I think one needs to be mp or p, and one needs to be f or mf. Or something like that.
Thanks!
But the popover doesn’t know what to do with »f-ff« or »f - ff« (hyphen) or »f – ff« (dash).
Results are ff or fff or ff- or something like that.
Also the panel for combined dynamics doesn’t have f-ff on board.
So … I still have no idea (or did I missunderstand you?)
Right, I’m confirming that there are some limitations with this sort of scenario at present. You can’t do f-ff, p-pp, etc. One has to be some sort of f, and the other has to be some sort of p.
To have this play back correctly, we will have to wait until the Team can implement this feature, which I’m sure is on their radar, even if it is not “imminent.”
No, you are wrong. You can now enter multiple dynamics (at slightly different positions) and choose to suppress playback of one or another on different passes.
I don’t mind about the playback; I just want a visible mark in the sheets like “mf - f” or “mf, 3x f.”
I found a thread where Daniel mentioned using Shift-X Text and Music Symbols, which is an acceptable workaround.
