How to Crescendo Each Note Individually?
I'm trying to write a harmony for a song that I'm composing. The harmony that I have in mind requires an instrument (the violins) to crescendo each half note, from piano to mezzo-piano. However, I don't know how to make the violins crescendo each note. How do I make it so that the violins can crescendo each note they play?

Add the hairpins, apply 'hidden' dynamics as required combined with defined velocity change property on the hairpins: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/hairpins
If you have many of these crescendo markings, you can do one or two bars and
write (Staff text) "sim." and the players will know to continue. Saves a lot of work!
