How do you slowly fade out the end of song? Tried using p, pp, ppp but didn't work

• Feb 28, 2014 - 17:07

I want to fade out the end of a song slowly. I tried highlighting the staffs and set p , hightlight the next consecutive set and set pp and so on but it didn't really work. My midi file does fade out at the end but i want that to also work in a mscz format. also does musicxml support that?

Thanks

from the palette, it should work. Attach the score, if you want, and provide some more details: http://musescore.org/en/handbook/how-ask-support-or-file-reports

alternatives:

or a plugin (Reset Note Velocities / Growing or Decreasing Velocities notes):

Here's the mscz file. The last 8 measures of the bass at the end should start to fade out in increment.

All elements similar> notes property on auto (it was user);
Apply the dynamics...
Refine ;-)

There is a pretty cool trick to fading out a song, if you want to take the time to edit the uncompressed MSCX file. If anyone is interested, please post here. This is a very old thread.

No need for tricks as of MuseScore 3.1

Right you are. The "n" option on dynamics.

Also have a script that decrements them for the last x measures desired. It simply adds the below the subtag of the tag, and divides the current velocity by the # of remaining measuress

  [Measure]
    [voice]
      [Dynamic]
        [subtype]other-dynamics[/subtype]
        [velocity]80[/velocity]
        [visible]0[/visible]
        [text]80[/text]
        [/Dynamic]

(Had to substitute brackets for the lt/gt signs.)
It's a wee bit faster than a lot of pointing and clicking, then changing the text.

Easy with those angle brackets:

  <Measure>
    <voice>
      <Dynamic>
        <subtype>other-dynamics</subtype>
        <velocity>80</velocity>
        <visible>0</visible>
        <text>80</text>
        </Dynamic>

using <xml>...</xml>

All you have to do is change the velocity change for the start of the diminuendo or morendo to match the velocity for the last dynamic and it will fade to 1, which you cannot hear unless you have your volume up VERY high.

Very good. Thanks.
I had already put the scripted xml in this ...

... but will try what looks like a much easier approach.
