Expressions

Last updated: 07/30/2024

Expressions in a score convey information about how a particular section of the music ought to be performed. Expressions are generally simple phrases and are more suggestive than say, a metronome marking, which would be considered strict.

SmartScore comes with a library containing hundreds of the most common Expressions in German, Italian, French and English. You may edit the wording of an existing expression or simply type in your own wording when the Expression dialog opens.
