Do not accent the first beat of each measure.

How to adjust the performance of the music, do not accent the first beat of each measure.


Comments

The first beat of the measure is not accented by default. Are you saying you want it to be? Then select the note you want accented and either add an accent mark from the palette or use the Inspector to increase the "velocity" of that note (works for instruments that don't use "single-note dynamics").

To adjust the performance and avoid accenting the first beat of each measure, think of it like playing a strategic Agario game—focus on subtly distributing your dynamics across the measure. You can emphasize different beats or soften the downbeat to create a more fluid and balanced phrasing. It's all about shifting attention without losing the rhythm's natural flow.

Play or accentuate notes on the offbeat (e.g., the "and" of each beat) to create a syncopated or displaced rhythm, making the music feel more unpredictable and de-emphasizing the downbeat.
