You can make individual dynamic points input in the Dynamics editor constant or linear. By default, dynamic points you input in the Dynamics editor are linear.

Note

These steps do not apply to the points of dynamics input in Write mode.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Key Editor is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Select is selected in the Key Editor panel toolbar.

  • You have selected the instruments that you want to show in the Key Editor.

  • You have added the Dynamics editor to the Key Editor.

Procedure

  1. In the Dynamics editor, select the dynamic points you want to make constant/linear.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To make the selected points constant, click Convert to Constant Point in the editor header.

    • To make the selected points linear, click Convert to Linear Point in the editor header.

Result

The selected dynamic points become constant or linear.

Value lines always appear horizontal after constant points. Value lines appear angled after linear points if the next point has a different value, indicating a smooth transition between the points.
