Something I don't understand about Alternative text attribute

[andgle]

@Daniel at Steinberg

It’s not an alternative to the playing technique text, it’s an alternative to the continuation. So if you wanted something like “sempre” you could switch the continuation type to “none” and then put “sempre” in alternative text. The reason it works the way it does is so that you can use it as a modifier with glyph-like playing techniques as well as textual ones.
