Hi Steinberg community, how can I see the dashed line of a crescendo? Thank you, Valerio
If you mean you want to see “cresc … … …”, see here. Note particularly the property scope - if it’s set to Locally, changing the appearance in the score won’t affect the part, for example. You can also change the default appearance of gradual dynamics in Engraving Options.
As Lillie points out, the Dorico manual here:
…describes how to make a continuous cresc. with a dotted line (so players can see clearly where the longer crescendo ends).
It says in the manual:
‘If you selected cresc…, activate [= ‘click’ on] Continuation line style and choose one of the available options.’
Inside the Dynamics panel, I can’t see a ‘Continuation line style’ function to ‘activate’. Could this be the ‘Lines’ icon on the far right?:
If I use the above tool, then the crescendo dotted/dashed line appears above the stave instead of being integrated as an ‘emanation’ (ooer) from the word ‘cresc.’ itself. ‘Above’, is fine for vocal parts, but am I doing this the right way, and can’t a line be part-and-parcel of a long cresc. when summoned?
It’s still talking about in the Properties panel > Dynamics group.
