By default, Dorico Pro inputs gradual dynamics spanning the full duration of selected notes/items. You can change this setting if you prefer gradual dynamics to end at the start of the last selected note.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-, to open Preferences.
  2. In the category list, click Note Input and Editing.
  3. In the Editing section, activate/deactivate End gradual dynamics at start of last note in multiple selections.
  4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

When End gradual dynamics at start of last note in multiple selections is activated, gradual dynamics end at the start of the last selected note. Immediate dynamics at the end of gradual dynamics are attached to the last selected note.

When End gradual dynamics at start of last note in multiple selections is deactivated, gradual dynamics end at the end of the last selected note. Immediate dynamics at the end of gradual dynamics are attached to the next note/rest.
