NOTION Music Forum

In version 2 of NOTION I could enter data with keyboard shortcuts, or via the toolbars and a dialog. One difference between these methods was that using the longhand approach I could, for instance, select the playback 'slope' of a crescendo hairpin, or I could enter one dynamic marking to be shown in the score, but another one (in a finer gradation) for playback. I can't work out how to do this is NOTION3.

The horrible thought occurs that this extremely useful feature may have disappeared from NOTION3. Please, say it ain't so! Or perhaps someone could tell me how to do it.

Partly replying to my own question: I had given up on "Tweak Dynamics", which simply doesn't appear on my Edit menu, but I did find another way to modify dynamics. It followed "Tweak" in the manual so I didn't at first see it was a different thing. Eventually I found that "Tweak Dynamics" and "Hide" are both in the Tools menu, not Edit (as shown in the Help file).

But I still can't find a way of controlling the degree of crescendo/diminuendo of a hairpin, and I seem to have lost the trick of making the end dynamic affect the playback (as it did in Notion 2 and as (the Help file claims) the words 'cresc' and 'dim' do in Notion 3.
