Changing the custom scale size of notes

You can change the size of notes according to a custom scale if you want to change the size of notes to a size other than those available from the Scale menu in the Common group of the Properties panel.

Note

If you want to change the size of notes because you want them to be grace notes, or because you want them to be cues, you can input them as either grace notes or cues instead.

Procedure

  1. Select the notes whose custom scale size you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Custom Scale in the Common group.
  3. Change the Custom Scale percentage value in any of the following ways:

    • Enter a value into the value field.

    • Click the arrows beside the value field.

Result

The size of the notes is changed according to the percentage change.

Note

If you have also activated Scale, the percentage change for Custom Scale is based on the selected size option for Scale.
