The Modify/Cresc menu lists commands for creating crescendi and descrescendi.

	To create crescendi in the score as indicated by the Select Score arrows
	To create decrescendi in the score as indicated by the Select Score arrows

Normally crescendi and descrescendi are entered using the Cresc tool from the NoteAbilityPro Tools palette. However, if you need a crescendo or a decrescendo to cross from one system to another, you will need to do the following:

1. Choose the Select Score tool from the NoteAbilityPro Tools palette
2. click to place the starting arrow of the selection on the staff and location you want your crescendo or decrescendo to start
3. click again to place the ending arrow on the staff and location you want your crescendo or decrescendo to end.
4. choose either the Build Cresc or Build Decresc menu items to create the image

The example below should make this clear. The selection area is shown, followed by the crescendo that results.

It is also possible to use these menu items to create crescendi or descrescendi across many staves. In this case, select several staves with the Select Score arrows by placing the start arrow on the first staff and the end arrow on the last staff that you want included. A crescendo or decrescendo will be added to each staff. The example below should make this clear:
