Changing the positions of articulations on tied notes

You can change where in tie chains articulations appear individually, independently of your project-wide settings. By default, articulations of force and stress are shown on the first note/chord in tie chains, while articulations of duration are shown on the last note/chord.

Procedure

  1. Select the tied notes/chords whose articulation position you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Articulations group of the Properties panel, activate Pos. in tie chain under the corresponding heading for the articulation whose position you want to change.

    For example, activate Pos. in tie chain under the Articulations of force heading to change the position of accents.

  3. Choose one of the following options:
    • First note

    • Last note

  4. Optional: Repeat steps 2 and 3 to change the position of other types of articulations on the selected tied notes/chords.

Result

The position of articulations in the selected tie chains is changed.

Tip

You can change the default position of each type of articulation relative to all tie chains project-wide in the Ties section of the Articulations page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
