I've tried a project in 2009 to try to familiarise myself with the
new expressions.
Do I misunderstand something important, or is it very difficult to
get exact placement of dynamics and expressions like pizz.?
I noticed that the expressions are no longer tied to notes or
measures, but that is exactly how I want these expressions - attached
to notes and ready to move with them if I decide to change spacing or
register.
Also, clicking on two adjacent staves to enter a forte marking gives
wildly different placement. And if you drag-enclose while holding
down a metatool, the expression aligns itself with the LEFT-most side
of the enclosure box. That means that to get a forte aligned on five
staves simultaneously, you have to drag-enclose VERY carefully or end
up nudging afterwards.
Also, I had to enter forte and pizz. for the same entrance of the
string section. Once I had drag-enclosed all five staves to enter the
forte, I couldn't repeat the procedure for the pizz! All I
accomplished was selecting all the handles for the forte I had
previously applied.
The manual doesn't seem to address this. Has anyone worked out how to
get proper and exact placements?
