Can you imagine if Finale 2007 had an option to draw hairpins in the
Smart Shape Tool/Tab Slide/Smart Line Designer so that you can be
able to make all instances of dynamic changes (eg. P<mp, mf<f, f>pp,
etc) and display them in a separate menu for selection (with
metatools), applying them as Pedal markings attached to notes. Talk
about consistency and accuracy. In my long experience with engraving
scores this is where you spend most time, and more when you do the
same thing for extracted parts. I have asked Tobias years ago about
this. This should really be easy to implement. Music Press has
similar feature but with separate dynamics and hairpins.
What you are really saying is:
* Custom smart shapes should be able to be note-attached as well as
bar-attached, and
* We should be able to have any shape as the 'line' in a custom smart
shape (e.g. a hairpin, a box etc.).
I agree that these are fabulous suggestions, and can I advise you to
submit a feature request for both of these to Makemusic? I have done so
for these in the past, and will do so again.
Fingers x'ed for the future,
Matthew
