tool, points within a dynamic event region are constant by default. When you use the Line
tool, dynamic event regions have a linear point at the start and a constant point at the end.
NOTE
Dynamic event regions that you input in the dynamics lane override default playback
adjustments for dynamics, such as humanization and increased dynamics for notes with
accents. However, the dynamic curve setting still applies to dynamic event regions.
9 Gradual dynamic
A smooth change in dynamic between two dynamic points, representing gradual dynamics
input in Write mode. Gradual dynamics have a linear point at the start, a constant point at
the end, and a highlighted region.
Messa di voce gradual dynamic events have an additional
linear point in the middle.
NOTE
Default playback adjustments for dynamics, such as humanization and increased dynamics
for notes with accents, still apply to notes within gradual dynamics that you input in Write
mode.

Combined/Force dynamic
A highlighted region that contains multiple dynamic points, representing combined or
force dynamics input in Write mode, such as
and . Combined/Force dynamics have
multiple points to control their envelopes. Combined dynamics have three points, while force
dynamics have four points.
NOTE
Because the points of combined/force dynamics correspond to parameters of their
envelopes, they function differently than other dynamic points. For example, if you change
the value of the second point of a force dynamic, the third point also moves because it
controls the duration of the second point.

Hiding/Showing dynamics lanes
You can hide/show the dynamics lane for each instrument track independently.
PROCEDURE
1.
Expand the instrument tracks whose dynamics lanes you want to show.
2.
Optional: For instrument tracks with independent voice playback enabled, select a voice from
