Project-wide engraving options for playing techniques

You can find options for the project-wide appearance and position of playing techniques on the Playing Techniques page in Engraving Options.

The options on the Playing Techniques page allow you to change the distance between playing techniques and the staff, the arrangement of multiple text playing techniques at the same rhythmic position, and playing technique continuation styles.

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 Playing Techniques in the page list on the left of the dialog.
