Same Note Crescendos Work; Decrescendos Don't

• Apr 9, 2020 - 23:31

Has anyone encountered this before? Or is it normal? I've written a bunch of same-note dynamics into a score, and am having no issues with the crescendos, but none of the decrescendos play. As far as I can tell I've got them configured the same way, and I've tried closing the program and reopening. Do only crescendos work currently for some reason?

No, both should work - assuming you have entered appropriate dynamics before/after or have explicitly set the velocity change in the Inspector. Do be sure the dynamics really are applied to the same staff/voice if you are using that approach. Also be sure the instrument itself supports single note dynamics - not all do. See Staff Properties.

If you have a score where it still doesn't seem to be working after checking all that, please attach it (or at least a relevant excerpt) and tell us exactly which diminuendo isn't working for you.
