Positions of pedal lines

You can change the positions of pedal lines individually and by changing their default positions project-wide. For example, you can override the default position for individual pedal lines to be further away from the staff if notes at those positions require more vertical space below the staff.

You can move pedal lines to different rhythmic positions in Write mode. They are positioned by default according to your settings in Engraving Options.

You can move pedal lines graphically in Engrave mode. However, this does not change the rhythmic positions to which they are attached.

Note

You cannot move retakes or pedal level changes rhythmically. You must remove them and input a new retake or pedal level change at the position you want.

You can change the default positions of all pedal lines project-wide on the Pedal Lines page in Engrave > Engraving Options. For example, you can change values for the minimum distances between pedal lines and staves, pedal lines and other pedal lines, and the position of pedal lines relative to noteheads and grace notes.
