You can use **Adjust → Interpret...** to modify the velocities and timings of notes according to any written or indicated dynamics found. The selection of interpretations available is as follows:

Apply text dynamics (//p, mf, ff// etc)

Sets a velocity to each note based on the last piece of text of “Dynamic” type seen on the same staff (only texts of the form //pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, fff,// etc., are matched; these are the texts that are available by default when entering text events of this style).

**Apply hairpin dynamics**

Makes the notes gradually increase or decrease in velocity during a crescendo or decrescendo hairpin.

 **Stress beats**

Makes notes that land on bar or beat boundaries slightly louder (greater velocity) than the surrounding notes.

 **Articulate slurs, staccato, tenuto etc**

Shortens unslurred notes, shortens staccato notes more, and gives notes inside slurs and tenuto notes their full length.
