Project-wide engraving options for accidentals

You can find options for the project-wide appearance and position of accidentals on the Accidentals page in Engraving Options.

The options on the Accidentals page allow you to change the order of accidentals in chords and the precise positioning of accidentals relative to noteheads and parentheses.

There are musical examples for many options to demonstrate how they affect the appearance of your music.

You can open Engraving Options in any of the following ways:

  • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E in any mode.

  • Choose Engrave > Engraving Options in Engrave mode.

You can then click Accidentals in the page list on the left of the dialog.
