Project-wide engraving options for holds and pauses

You can find options for the project-wide positions of holds and pauses on the Holds and Pauses page in Engraving Options.

The options on the Holds and Pauses page allow you to change the default positions and placement of holds and pauses, including the placement of fermatas in multiple-voice contexts.

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 Holds and Pauses in the page list on the left of the dialog.
