General placement conventions for hairpins relative to barlines
In Dorico Elements, the ends of hairpins align with the left edge of the note to their right. This
can include hairpins extending across barlines.
Hairpins that end on the rst note of a bar extend across the preceding barline in the following
cases:
●
If there is no immediate dynamic on the rst note in the next bar.
●
If there is a time signature or key signature change at the barline that increases the gap
between the end of the current bar and the
rst note in the new bar.
Dorico Elements avoids hairpins overlapping barlines by a small amount, as this is less visually
clear. However, this means that the same dynamic phrase on different staves can appear
differently if one of the staves does not have a barline join extending below it.
The hairpin ends are not aligned because the barline does not extend beyond the bottom staff
You can allow/disallow hairpins across barlines if the hairpin ends on the rst note in the next
bar. Disallowing hairpins across barlines ensures hairpins appear the same length on all staves.
Allowing/Disallowing hairpins across barlines
You can allow/disallow hairpins across barlines when they end on the rst note in the next bar,
for example, so all hairpins appear the same length across multiple staves that do not all have
barline joins. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and
frame chains.
