Hairpin gets placed over wrong bar

• Sep 24, 2024 - 11:51

In the first bar shown (in the image ‘hairpin after’), I inserted a hairpin with the ‘>’ key, and it worked out nicely. Now i wanted to do the same in the second bar, but instead it gets placed over the third bar. The same happens if I copy and paste the hairpin.

As a workaround, I tried to move it manually to the correct bar, but there are at least two problems with that, as shown in ‘hairpin stuck’:
1. It is glued to both the ‘ppp’ to its left and the ‘p’ to its right and moves them along with it.
2. Once moved up to the position shown, it is stuck there and can't be moved any lower.

Actually, because the dynamics here take up much more horizontal space than the notes, my preferred layout would be to display the dynamics letters below the hairpins, which would save a lot of horizontal space. Should I open a different topic for that?

It is difficult (impossible?) to see exactly what is going on from a picture. Please attach the score (.mscz file) so that someone can investigate further.

One thing I do see in the picture is repeated dynamics, ppp followed by ppp and p followed by p. What are you trying to achieve? What arrangement of dynamics and hairpins are you aiming for?
