You can erase the background of individual dynamics; for example, to ensure dynamics remain legible when crossing barlines. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
Prerequisite
-
The lower zone is shown.
-
Properties
is selected in the lower zone toolbar. -
Graphic Editing
is selected in the Engrave toolbox. -
You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.
Procedure
- In Engrave mode, select the dynamics whose backgrounds you want to erase.
- In the Properties panel, activate Erase background in the Dynamics group.
Result
The backgrounds of the selected dynamics are erased. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
Deactivating Erase background returns the selected dynamics to the default non-erased background.
This does not affect hairpins, including stems crossed by hairpins.

After Completing This Task
You can change the padding between dynamics and each edge of their erased areas.
