Crescendo hairpin?

[k.k]

How should I set the Crescendo hairpin?

I must enter the green section as shown in the image on the left.

I would:

• select first bar; shift + d; p cresc. [ enter ]
• select remaining 3 bars: shift + d; <> [ enter]

You’ll need to move the center of the hairpin to right and make sure “Barline interaction” is set to “stop before”.

E.g.,

Or maybe easier for a consistent spacing: enter p< as the dynamic, and cresc. as a suffix.

[derAbgang]

I never understood that notation. Why the redundant “cresc.”? How would one play that any different than simply: p< ?

[k.k]

Even if “Barline interaction” is set to “stop before”, it still crosses the barline.

[charles_piano]

What if you select it, and do Edit > Reset Position? (or switch off End Offset in the properties).

[k.k]

There is no change in either case.

[charles_piano]

Maybe ckeck that value in Engraving Options (it must be a positive value, default is 3/4).

Otherwise please post a project that shows the issue.

How should this situation be resolved?

[charles_piano]

See my last reply above.

[k.k]

The value for ‘Relative to Barline’ is set to the default.

[charles_piano]

If you want your hairpins to never cross the barline when they end on the first note of next bar, choose this option (Engraving Options>Dynamics>Gradual Dynamics>Advanced Options.)

If something is still not working on your end, please post a file here.

Thanks.
