Thanks, benwiggy. Are an unlimited number of playing techniques possible in Dorico? I remember having to edit existing symbols, but that may not be playing techniques.
Custom Playing Techniques are limitless.
Thanks, pianoleo.
Thank you for the information and a picture! I hadn’t referred these. Possibly, Henle’s dim. abbreviation in this case has something to do with relatively narrow horizontal space of this bar, I thought.
It is true that Beethoven preferred “dimin.” notation. When I looked for other composers’ examples, I found the Brahms’s example in which only the piano part has “dimin.” and other parts have “dim.”.
Brahms, Piano Concerto No.2, Op.83, 4th movement, bar 143.
Simrock, First Edition(1882)
The recent score of this work by Henle(published in 2015) also follows this notation.
So the First edition has the dim before the hairpin cresc, and the new edition has the dim at the same position as the crescendo?
Assuming that’s just a swell within a longer dim, then the dim ought to have a dotted line showing its length, or the whole thing done differently. As it stands, there’ll be questions in rehearsal.
