I can’t work out what’s happening here. This is a portion of the full score showing dynamics which are replicated in every staff:
The local properties are set to Global. However, this is how the corresponding page of the 1st Clarinet looks:
That f dynamic in bar 44, and the portion of hairpin, aren’t in the right places. By moving bar 44 to the previous system the problem disappears:
Is there something that I should correct in settings to avoid this sort of thing? (Oddly, setting ‘barline ineraction’ to ‘stop before’ for hairpins doesn’t have any effect .)
The fact that Barline Interaction doesn’t fix the problem would indicate that the crescendo is semantically attached somewhere in the middle of the next bar.
What happens if you click on the crescendo hairpin? Where do the red attachment lines indicate? I’m expecting you’ll see something like this:
The solution is to grab the opening hairpin and shorten it using Shift-Alt/Opt-Left Arrow.
If the dynamics are grouped you may need to Remove From Group first, then shorten it, then Group Dynamics again.
The reason this sort of thing occurs - and I see it in imported MusicXML and MIDI that’s theoretically been “tidied up” by orchestrators (not well enough), all the time - is that if you put an immediate dynamic somewhere in the middle of a hairpin, Dorico politely truncates the hairpin visually, but not semantically.

Sorry Gareth if I step in, but @pianoleo deserves a solution! (Brilliant indeed!)
Hi Alberto - sorry, I was sure I’d clicked it at the same time as liking it. Is it showing up now? (Seconds later) Oh no, it’s showing as a solution by me! I’m going to take another look… (how embarrassing…)
(Seconds later still) I hope I’ve got it right now. Gareth
