Moving note symbols

Note symbols, slurs and ties all have “default positions”. This determines the vertical distance between the note heads and the symbol.

  • You can manually adjust the vertical positions of individual symbols, but if you move or transpose their notes, the symbols are automatically reset to their default positions.

    This also ensures that note symbols and slurs are positioned sensibly when you change the Display Transpose settings.

  • To reset the vertical positions of note symbols and slurs in a score, right-click on the corresponding object and select “Default position” from the context menu.
