In score edit, when I try to input a crescendo hairpin, it displays as a diminuendo hairpin. No amount of dragging, flipping (or cursing!) changes this. It’s driving me round the bend. I’ve restarted the program several times, but no difference. Solutions please, before I end up being carted away in a yellow van 
Thanks

It’s very simple, the direction of hairpins (cresc/decresc) depends on existing dynamics indications before and after it.
(though sometimes you have to move those hairpins (or force display update) in order to update their opening direction)
