This is a very strange on. It has only happened once to me, but when placing a “p<mf” under a half note, it appears fine in the score, but the hairpin refuses to appear in the part, If I move either the p or f in engrave mode to leave more space for the hairpin, it still will not appear. If I ungroup and delete the p and mp, then the hairpin appears.
I can’t figure any way to make this appear properly, short of pencil and paper.
Part:
Score:
Maybe set a lower value in Engraving Options->Dynamics->Gradual Dynamics->Advanced->Minimum length for hairpins.

I will try that, but this is very clearly a bug. I mean, there is PLENTY of room for the casting-off process to save enough space for the hairpin to show. And if I manually move either of the dynamics (p or mp) to make more space, then the hairpin should show.
The behavior is completely wrong. Here is a stripped down file. The issue is in m57

In bar 57, Flute the mf is attached to the next measure. If you move back one 16-note in Write mode that helps.

You might need to ungroup first
I set the minimum hairpin to 1.5 spaces, deleted all the dymanics and put the p<mp in again. This works without any un-grouping or tweaking in Engrave. However, it displays inconsistently in Write mode. Sometimes the p<mp wraps, sometimes the hairpin doesn’t show. That’s really should be considered a bug.
But thank you for the pointer in the engraving options. That gets the desired results.
Yes, that setting does not work reliably, I’m afraid. This is a common scenario.
Your best bet is to add a custom note spacing change just for that spot, set it to a high value to force it to display, then set it back immediately after it. Works easily enough. This is something I’m looking forward to seeing fixed down the road.
This problem has been reported before and has been lingering for a while. We’ve made some fixes and improvements in this area during Dorico 4 development, so things should be much improved in the next version.
