Hello,
90% of the time when I insert Hairpin I find out I have to click on them immediately to edit the length or duration using Shift <> or Shift option <>.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to make them editable upon creating them?
Cheers
How are you inserting your hairpins? Certainly I find whether I insert them via the Shift+D popover or using the > shortcut or even when clicking one in from the right-hand panel in Write mode, the hairpin does indeed end up selected so I can simply lengthen or shorten them without needing to re-select them.
Thanks, Daniel,
I played around with it a bit and figured out some stuff.
It seems that, if I use pop-over to insert dynamics such as p or mf and then I select the note later on and try to insert the hairpin using Shift < or > or using pop-over it won’t make them editable instantly and I have to select the hairpin again.
However if a note does not have a dynamics to being with and I insert Hairping using Shift < or > or using pop-over it will make them editable instantly.
the first pic my note has already had mp dynamic assigned to it previously and if later on, I want to add a hairpin, the hairpin is not instantly editable.
In the second pic my note does not have any dynamics assigned to it so when I insert a dynamic it is instantly editable.
Thanks
Yes, when Dorico groups the new dynamic with the existing one, it selects the whole group, which does indeed mean that you have to re-select the hairpin independently from the remaining dynamics in the group. It might be nice if Dorico could do this automatically, but it’s always had the current behaviour.
