Project-wide engraving options for ornaments

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

The options on the Ornaments page allow you to change the position of trills relative to accidentals, noteheads, and trill extension lines. You can also set the minimum distance between ornaments and the staff and noteheads.

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 Ornaments in the page list on the left of the dialog.
