The rulers

Unlike other editors, the Score Editor does not have a meter/time position-based ruler. Instead, its rulers are “graphical”, i. e. they indicate the actual x-y position of objects (with “zero” at the upper left corner).



  • The current pointer position is indicated by thin lines in the rulers.

  • To hide the rulers, right-click on a ruler and select “Off”.

    This pop-up menu can also be found above the scrollbar at the far right.

  • To display the ruler again, open the pop-up menu above the scrollbar at the far right and select one of the units (inches, centimeters, or points).

    This setting also affects the units used in the Position Info window (see below).
