Dear fellow Doricians, beloved Team,
Dorico 3.5 has solved some problems in the area covered by this thread (especially the propagate properties thing). Since it’s all about refinement — and I really love new stuff in there (slanted beam refinements, slurs crossing sytems might be a favourite), I’m still hoping the cres-cen-do---- gradual dynamic design will be refined as well. A real cres-cen-do option (the last syllable ends the dynamic span, not hyphens), and also the height of the hyphens (bottom line _ or mid-letter as a normal hyphen). I suppose this refinement is somewhere on your backlog. I think this could be done with the new lines features of Dorico 3.5, so again, no rush in here. But I love Dorico so much (and there is indeed so much refinement in it) that it feels wrong to have that strange “cres----cen----do—” option.
PS : Maybe I’m missing something, so chime in and tell me it that’s the case!
