Convert hairpin crescendo to "cresc." dashed line
It's fairly common to see in a piece of music, instead of a hairpin, something like this:
cresc. - - - - - - - -
(Likewise, by the way, with dim. instead of cresc.)
This can be simulated in MuseScore, but it's a rather time-consuming process involving creating a custom line which ends up not looking quite right anyway:
cresc.-----------------------------
—plus, there is (at least for now) #69836: Changes to text line not reflected in linked parts.
I'd like to see a simple Inspector option to change a hairpin into a text-line type of dynamic.
Thoughts?

I don't like the idea of an Inspector option that changes an element into something completely different. I'd rather simply see the desired line symbol made available, with the same playback semantics as a hairpin. I guess the difference you are concerned with is wider spacing of dashes? That much could be an Inspector settings, or just a different line style.

Great, I'd love that—a new line style with widely spaced dashes, and cresc. and dim. lines in the Lines palette using that style with the corresponding playback effect. Can it be done?

In principle, doesn't seem like it would be a big deal.

Good to hear. I've put this in the tracker: #74171: Implement "cresc." dashed line as alternative to hairpin
