Hairpins in 3.6
I have not been able to expand the length of crescendos and diminuendos and have read the material in the online manual on the subject. I have tried all the suggestions and still cannot get the symbols to appear such as I can on slurs. All that does show up is a small version of the dynamic nuance.
Any suggestions?

If you want the hair pin to cover a certain number of measures or notes, Select them then select the hairpin from the palette. If your hairpin is the wrong length, I think it is faster to just delete it and add the length you want.

Thank you for your reply, Bob! I tried to do as you suggested with a single measure, but I wound up with a crescendo over each note.

Crescendo over each note?? Hmmmm...are we talking about the same thing? Select a measure, double click a hairpin in the paleete. If you don't see a single hairpin under the full measure, there must be a funny setting somewhere.

I think you accidentally used the accent mark. Use cresendo line in "Lines".

Bingo, that's almost ceertain it. An accent does look like a mini-diminuendo. Then there is are also the fade-in and other kind of similar symbols. Basically, nothing on the Articulatiosn palette will be what you want - it's got to be from the Lines palette, or better, the shortcuts "<" and ">".

Select a measure (or any range, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/selection-modes#range-select) and apply a hairpin. Do not select individual notes!
