Is there a way how to change the line thickness of the cresc. and decresc. smart shape markings - but not globally? Thank you in advance! Jiri

You can create them as shape expressions - and each shape can have its own line thickness.

Well, that's what I do but it's not really the most convenient way... Thank you anyway!

I'm curious about what context one might find this variety of line thicknesses in hairpins.
Would you care to elaborate? I'd be curious to see how it applies and how one could best go about achieving the effect.

I am composing score for children's chorus, 3 mixed choruses and large orchestra and sometimes I just need completely enlarged markings to be assigned to the whole sections...
