Description

Your idea

A couple ways this could be added. 1 Select a few bars and add a hair pin,
have a dynamic on both ends of hairpin(optional),
select a beat with in that hair pin and add a dynamic.
Hairpin collides with dynamic. (current state)

Other way to possibly add dynamics. 1 Create two of the same hair pins back to back. Then add dynamics that follow the shape of the hairpins (soft to loud, loud to soft ect.) at the start, middle and end of the hair pins as per the first way. Same result.

See pictures below for possible fix as an example.

As always, any questions/concerns, please feel free to ask and I will get back to it as soon as I can.

Problem to be solved

Hairpin collides with dynamic. (current state)/hairpins incorrectly formatted. No way to open hair pins (besides hairpins transitioning to new system).
