niente in properties doesn't work

Well, as the title says, changing an existing hairpin to a niente style in properties doesn’t work.
Adding the niente circle in the gradual dynamics menu on the right does work though, so it isn’t a drama, but still, it doesn’t work by changing it in the properties panel.

You have to activate in two places in the properties panel - check the “Niente” box, and toggle on the “niente” style.

That Niente check box is real easy to miss.

Daniel - if you’re reading this - suggest the Niente style selector be placed directly next to the check box. This should be easy enough. Yes, yes, I know, famous last words. . . :slight_smile:

the strange thing:
if I’m using shift+D and then I insert ‘p>n’ or ‘f>n’ or with whatever dynamic ‘starting point’, the ‘n’ is NOT written at the end of the decrescendo.
If I only insert ‘>n’ (so without any dynamic ‘starting point’) the ‘n’ IS written at the end of the decrescendo.
Is there any logic behind that? For me it isn’t, sorry.

For reference, this was brought up 4 years ago (discussion through last Dec.), and also 3 days ago.

Thanx Mark.
