Single Note Crescendo/diminuendo
I have been able to get the impression of a single note crescendo or diminuendo by having at least 1 line have multiple notes during the crescendo or diminuendo. But what if I really want a single note crescendo or diminuendo? It obviously would have to be programmed in such a way that if the instrument is one that can do a single note crescendo or diminuendo(so bowed strings, brass, or woodwinds) and there is a single note in that line, then that note will get louder or softer, else, if the instrument is not one that can do a single note crescendo(such as piano or guitar), the crescendo would be ignored and it would sound like a sudden dynamic change. I know this is being worked on. I'm just wondering, when am I going to be able to get a single note to crescendo or diminuendo in the playback?

Okay. I'm very good at staying patient so it wouldn't bother me whether it was within the next week or within 6 months. Just figured I would ask because last I saw somebody ask about single note crescendos and diminuendos was 2 years ago.

Hi, can you please show me where/how ? Maybe attach an example?
I am using ver 3.2.3.7635
This would be a great feature.

Nothing special, really - add a note, add a haipin. If there is enough information int he score for MuseScore to understand how big of a crescendo you want (eg, dynamics before and after, or using Inspector to set the velocity change), it will play.
See for example what I have attached.

ooh great!
Thanks for demo : )

Hi, I played the "single note dynamics" file you attached but hear only on the quarter notes reacting to the hairpin dynamic. The whole note and tied notes only play the set dynamic (ff and ppp) and not the hairpin. Is there a setting somewhere I should look at to fix it?

Well, normally it works by default, so it’s more a question of what setting you might have already changed that broke it :-). It only works with the default soundfont and a few others, so if you changed to something else, first step is change back in View / Synthesizer. If you also fiddled with the settings in the Dynamics Tab, set those back to the defaults too.
And of course, you have be on a sufficiently recently version of MuseScore - anything within the last year will do, but 3.4.2 is current.

Yes, I did change the soundfont. I will check there. Thanks!

I'm having issues getting sensible dynamics programmed in. I have a whole note that I want to have 2 beats quieter then 2 beats louder, so I replace the whole note with half notes, program this in then attempt to put it back to a whole note and the lines break. Would be nice for there to be a way to get the half measure selection to work over a whole note. Thanks!
Edit: Having to tie two half notes together to make the size automation standard on the chart.

The standard workaround is to have invisible half rests in voice 2, and the hairpins to those. Someday we do indeed hope to simplify this.

You wrote:

So let's say the whole note is divided 2 beats at p and and 2 beats at mp.
Is this what you want? Consider the playback:
Whole_note_dynamics.mscz
(Use the view menu to show the invisible rests.)
Using a hairpin:
Whole_note_dynamics a.mscz
This compares no hairpin to hairpin.
In either case, the whole note is divided into 2 different dynamics .

Hi Marc!
I opened the file on Musescore 3.6.2 on linux and single notes dynamics doesn't work. :(
My settings in Synthesizer>Dynamics are all default and I am using the musescore's soundfont.
Any clue?
