You can add poco a poco text immediately after individual gradual tempo changes.

Note

You can also enter poco a poco directly into the tempo popover. However, this means the entry is treated as a tempo mark rather than a gradual tempo change, which changes the properties you can use on it.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

  1. Select the gradual tempo changes to which you want to add poco a poco text. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Poco a poco in the Tempo group.

Result

Poco a poco text is shown immediately after the text in the selected gradual tempo changes.

Deactivating Poco a poco (little by little) removes poco a poco text from the selected gradual tempo changes.
