I have often wished for a "cresc" or "dim" line option in custom lines, but alas it doesn't exist. That said, what you want to do is *much* more reliable starting in Fin14 due to the beat attachment of hairpins. I would enter the circles as text expressions. The beauty of beat-attached hairpins is that if the text expression and the hairpin are attached to the same beat, the horizontal offset between them remains fixed no matter how the music spacing changes.
You can get fine control over horizontal (and vertical) placement using the Expression Alignment dialog box for the expression and my Smart Shape Editor plugin for the hairpins. Once you have created a circle-hairpin combo, you can replicate it easily with my Mass Copy plugin. On Sun, Nov 13, 2016 at 8:09 AM, Steve Parker <st...@pinkrat.co.uk> wrote: > I don't know why.
