Options for "cre...scen...do" dash length and gaps

My default is to use simple “cresc./dim.”.
The default dash length and gaps appears to be something quite small (1/3 length and 1/2 or similar gap).
If I use the lower panel to activate the “cre…scen…do” option, I get bigger and more spaced dashes which appear not to be using the same options as the one set up for the dash length/gaps above.


Furthermore, I cannot find them in Engraving Options > Dynamics > Gradual Dynamics.
Are they hardcoded and thus not exposed to the user?

If possible, I would like to make a further request: the “poco a poco” checkbox adds it after the cresc., as in “cresc. poco a poco”. If, like in this case from a famous piano collection, the “poco a poco” needs to be in front, we get this unpleasant result of “poco cre” being considered together.
Could this be improved so that, after choosing the “poco a poco” we get a further choice for “before/after” the “cresc./dim.”?

Hi @MicheleGalvagno , I found that if you use some hyphens after poco a poco in the Suffix, Dorico divides the “poco” and “cre”:


Maybe you are looking for this? (sorry is I misunderstood your request):


Tip: you can search in the Page, first selecting Dynamics on the left, and then command+F, and search for “hyphenated”: the filtered results appear with a yellow highlight:
