Moving playing techniques graphically

You can move playing techniques graphically without changing the rhythmic positions to which they apply.

Note

These steps do not apply to pedal lines.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the playing techniques you want to move.
  2. Move the playing techniques in any of the following ways:

    • Press Alt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.

    • Press Alt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.

    • Press Alt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.

    • Press Alt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.

      Tip

      If you want to move items by larger increments, you can press Ctrl/Cmd as well as the standard key command, for example, Ctrl/Cmd-Alt-Left Arrow.

    • Click and drag them in any direction.

Result

The selected playing techniques are moved to new graphical positions.

Tip

Start offset in the Playing Techniques group of the Properties panel is activated automatically when you move playing techniques.

  • Start offset X moves playing techniques horizontally.

  • Start offset Y moves playing techniques vertically.

You can also use this property to move playing techniques by changing the values in the value fields.

Deactivating the property resets the selected playing techniques to their default positions.
