Changing when glissando line text is shown

By default, glissando text is not shown when glissando lines are too short to accommodate the text. You can choose to show text on individual glissando lines always, or only if there is sufficient space.

Procedure

  1. Select the glissando lines whose setting for when text is shown you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Glissando text shown in the Glissando Lines group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • Show if sufficient space

    • Always show

Result

If Show if sufficient space is chosen, glissando line text is not shown if the glissando line is too short.

If Always show is chosen, glissando line text is always shown, even if the glissando line is short. However, this can cause the glissando line text to collide with other items, such as noteheads and stems.

Tip

You can increase the default gaps between noteheads by changing the default note spacing, and between individual noteheads by adjusting note spacing at individual rhythmic positions in Engrave mode.
