I can offset the start and end of a particular hairpin in Engrave move, but how do I do it for all, or better, is there a general setting for these offset? TIA.
Whatâs the context? Is this so they stop before barlines? If so thereâs a default for that in Engraving Options > Dynamics.
The start of < starts on the left side of the note head. That is ok. The < ends âtoo earlyâ for my taste and I adjusted the first to show the difference
Could this change be made on all hairpins in one setting?
You will get different results depending on how you choose to input the hairpinâŚ

OK. But how do I get the dotted line (on the end point) to align with the right side of the note?
I put the âgridâ to 1/16th and that worked. Is this the suggested method?
It goes a bit too far, about 1/10th of a space, but itâs OK. The left alignment is however perfect. Perhaps the right alignment can be fixed in future updates.
What do you mean âfixedâ?
As in âcorrectedâ.
Itâs unclear to me where I stop the crescendo.
Assuming thereâs about 4 spaces following the last chord before the next note, does this mean I stop the crescendo after a fifth of its total duration?
If I crescendo through all of the last note, then the hairpin ought to extend further into its duration.
If I stop before the last note, then the hairpin ought to stop before the last note.
Werenât you arguing for right-alignment recently?
Hairpins: ending on right-end of note? - Dorico - Steinberg Forums
I was querying that option; and the consensus in discussion here and elsewhere seemed to be against it.
This was discussed recently.
I think itâs odd that aligning hairpins in this way wasnât an option from the start. In Behind Bars, Elaine Gould wrote âGood practice is to start the hairpin on the left-hand edge of the note and to finish it on the right-hand edge of a noteâ, and itâs been common practice.
Increasing the resolution of the grid or making changes in Engrave mode is all you can do.
Re-reading the thread, nobody seems to have been against it.
