How to combine cresc. and string

Dorico

Hi there Doricoisti!

quick question : is there a way (other than using text) to combine gradual dynamics and gradual tempo changes? I´d love to write “poco a poco cresc. e string.”

Thanks in advance,
best,

M.

Cresc. with “poco a poco” as prefix and “e string.” as Suffix.
Add String as tempo change, delete the text and set Line dot size = 0 in Engrave mode. It will disappear completely and seem unselectable in Write mode and Engrave mode, but can be selected (the endpoints) with a bit of hit or miss.
Alternatively you can apply the tempo change directly in the Key editor without bothering with the String. tempo change.

Thanks Nickie!
Great idea! Tried it and worked for me. If I find something “smoother” I will let you know…

Best,

M.
