The pizzicato marking (pizz.) is an expression; for complete instructions on creating and manipulating expressions, see Expressions.
If you want to define the pizzicato marking for playback, you have several options. If your synthesizer has a pizzicato sound (or patch), you could define the pizz. marking as a patch change (see Patches). (If you use this method, you’ll also have to create a second expression (like arco)—which can be invisible, if you prefer—to restore the playback to its original patch.) You might also consider placing the pizzicato notes in a separate layer, then using the Score Manager to specify a special patch for that layer.
A simpler method might be to create such a patch change using the MIDI tool. Again, see Patches. If you simply want to hear selected notes play back with a staccato sound, see Staccato marks.
See Keyswitches for information of triggering a pizzicato keyswitch with HP.
