You can show individual dynamics in parentheses; for example, to indicate editorial dynamics that were not in the original manuscript. 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.

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

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the dynamics you want to parenthesize. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Parenthesized in the Dynamics group.

Result

Parentheses are shown around each selected dynamic. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Deactivating Parenthesized removes parentheses from the selected dynamics.
