Thank you very much, Daniel! It plays back as expected so I went back to my piece and looked for a passage where I’m having this issue and copied it in the file… and the crescendo doesn’t start at “niente” for that instrument. Take a look; it’s a percussion part.
As for the diminuendo I still think it decays too rapidly. It’s more noticeable on a large ensemble. Perhaps the curve is too linear so the diminuendo is performed correctly but past a certain point the sound is so faint it can’t be heard anymore so it appears as if the instrument was quieted off too early. I think it would be a great idea if in the future you could add a field where we could adjust the start/end dynamic of these hairpins, which I’m sure will vary from one library to another.
