The material

An everyday situation: While experimenting, a short musical piece is created that could be used as a jingle or trailer music. The music has not yet been worked out properly and it would not be possible to reproduce it in this state. Now it needs to be quickly and easily worked out into a mockup.
 
A first attempt with the NotePerformer already provides some useful musical details. These must now be incorporated step by step into the musical text and then linked with suitable sounds.

Musical elaboration 

In the next step, the still "raw" musical text receives step-by-step musical descriptions for articulations, phrasing, dynamic changes and sound changes (technique text).

Note: The musical arrangement may vary greatly according to taste. In this case, as many changes as possible have been made for demonstration purposes in order to diversify the sound.

The image gallery shows how musical playing techniques such as staccato, tenuto, accents or slurs, then dynamic changes and finally sound changes (articulations) were added to the "pure note text" in different colours.

Musical playing style
Every musician would also interpret a blank note musically "for himself". The style of playing chosen (e.g. staccato, tenuto, etc.) does not necessarily depend on the actual value of the note. For example, you can "hold" a quarter note for its entire duration (tenuto) or play it shorter (e.g. portato or staccato). This is always a matter of personal taste. Although the playing techniques chosen here are quite consistent throughout the piece, one could also interpret the music "completely different". 
 
Dynamics
For demonstration purposes, frequent changes have been used intentionally. This also has a positive effect on the sound character. 
 
Technique Text
The term "articulation" is sometimes used in different contexts: "Musical articulation" refers to the way a single note is formed on an instrument or in the voice, or the way several notes are joined together. On the other hand, "articulation" today also refers to the various playing styles (samples) of virtual instruments that are included in a sound library. The technique texts that appear here (in blue) above the notes are taken from the Vienna Symphonic Library Sound Set and correspond to the SYNCHRONised Woodwinds. The notation software Sibelius translates musical articulations (e.g. staccato), dynamic indications (e.g. fp, crescendo) and indications of playing style (stacc. rep., portato) into corresponding MIDI controllers.

As described in the previous scenarios, Technique Text can be made "invisible" in several notation programs, which has a positive effect on the clarity of the score.

Summary

A reasonable mockup can be created with relatively little effort. The cooperation between the notation software and the sound library is based on a working translation of the technique and expression texts. Depending on the existing sound library, the technique and expression texts are different. With the help of "invisible" text, the score can already be used at this stage for the export of individual parts.
