Properties panel

The Properties panel in Write mode contains quick access properties that allow you to change notes and notations, both during note input and by changing existing notes.

The options that are available on the Properties panel depend on the item that you select in your score. Only properties relevant to the currently selected item are displayed. If you select multiple different types of notation items, only properties that they have in common are displayed.

For example, if you select a note with no other notations or articulations, the Common and Notes and Rests groups are displayed. If you select a tied note with an articulation, the Common group, the Notes and Rests group, the Ties group, and the Articulations group are displayed. This shows you all the options that you can change for that note.

Note

If you need to change parts of notations, for example, the bow of a tied note, switch to Engrave mode.

You can hide/show the Properties panel in Write mode and Engrave mode in any of the following ways:

  • Press Ctrl/Cmd-8.

  • Click the disclosure arrow at the bottom of the window.
