Ignore crescendo/diminuendo in playback
Is there any way to disable the crescendo/dimuendo hairpins? It doesn’t sound natural in playback, but I don’t want to remove them. If not, is there a workaround?

Hairpins don't work in MS4 without dynamics at the end, anyway. If you are using a solo 1 voice, they kind of do what they want anyway.

Crescendo/diminuendo are working, but how do I disable them in playback?

Draw two single lines from the "Lines" palette and
make it into a hairpin.

"I want to know if there is a way to make playback ignore the hairpin"
If you look in the Symbols section of the Master Palette, you will find symbols for cresc. and dim.. These symbols do not affect playback at all.
But the disadvantage is of these symbols is that the length of the symbols cannot be adjusted in the same way as the cresc. and dim. elements on the Lines palette and the Dynamics palette.

It would seem that you can't make playback ignore hairpins.
I just ran a bunch of tests. I created a melody and added some hairpins. then played it with several different instruments. With some instruments, the hairpins chanced the volume a little bit. With others, no change at all. Cresc. and hairpins from the Master palette affect playback exactly like ones from within the software. And you can indeed lengthen the cresc. line in both.
Hairpins in notation software work best if a dynamic is placed at the end of them. Without them, it can be hit or miss. That is why I asked for a sample score. So that we might be able to find a way to help you.

Thank you, it sounds better now. No need to disable the hairpins after all.

Real musicians don't always need dynamics. They also have a conductor to follow. But computers have to be told what to do.
