Thanks, that's good to know! You must mean to have them checked though, I had them unchecked antil now and I always use shift to constrain. Fantastic. I should have changed this setting years ago! Thank you again!

In your case JW might not be much of use. I work mainly with 18th century music so I rarely have anything else than just standard dynamics. I have set up macros so I really do not go into JW manually, just select and press some keys. Does it for me.

These settings allow you to drag items only at one direction AND that the items are kept attached (anchored).

I still don't see how JW can help. If you have "subito pp"<"molto ff"
I am quicker with mouse than with programming JW. But, I might have wrong.

Octo, what does that setting do?

I use JW Change to make room for the dynamics. Look here, starting halfway down the page:

I'm using 2014.5 in earnest now and like the new hairpins--it should be a big time-saver. But what do you all do about collisions with dynamics? Do you anchor them to the beat and then adjust the endpoint(s) by dragging, with the arrow keys, or...? I would like the adjustments to be consistent. Is there a JW plug-in that helps? Alas, there doesn't seem to be a dialog box where one could type in numbers (akin to expressions' assignment).
