Three linked dynamics, where a hairpin added to the

top staff and grouped with the dynamics on that

staff has been automatically added to the staves

below.

Deleting the f at the end of the rst bar in the third

staff causes the hairpin to extend to match the range

of the top staff.

IMPORTANT

Deleting one dynamic that is linked to other dynamics also deletes all the linked dynamics.

As well as vertically linked dynamics, you can also group dynamics horizontally. This

automatically aligns the dynamics in a row and allows them to be moved and edited as a group.

Linking dynamics together

When you copy and paste identical dynamics to the same rhythmic position on other staves,

those dynamics are linked together automatically. You can also manually link dynamics and

groups of dynamics together that are not automatically linked to allow simultaneous editing.

However, the groups of dynamics must be the same in order to link them together. For example,

you can link two  dynamics together if neither is part of a group, but you cannot link them

together if one is grouped with a hairpin.

PROCEDURE

1. In Write mode, select the dynamics you want to link together.

2. Choose Edit > Dynamics > Link. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

RESULT

The selected dynamics are linked together. If you later change one of the linked dynamics, all

linked dynamics are changed to match.
