I want to assign the effects listed above to only one note. How do I do that?

[Stephen_Taylor]

With the shift-D dynamics popover, if you hit alt-enter instead of just enter, that dynamic will affect only that staff. Is that what you’re looking for?

[Estigy]

A dynamic will always only be added to the selected notes. No need for alt-enter, just “enter”

[Stephen_Taylor]

Ah - I meant for a multi-staff instrument like piano. If you input a dynamic for piano (or organ, marimba, harp) it will affect all staves unless you hit alt-enter.

[Estigy]

Ah, sorry, my bad. Don’t work with those instruments too often

[Derrek]

Of course the accents are not dynamics and are thus assigned differently; and of course crescendo and diminuendo (even if assigned in their text form rather than as hairpins) are seldom assigned only to one note.

[Lillie_Harris]

Voice specific dynamics also require the caret to be active at the time of input, in addition to using the Alt/Opt key.

You may also need to enable independent voice playback in Play mode.
