Changing pedal levels at retakes and pedal level changes

You can change both the start level and end level of individual sustain pedal lines at retakes and pedal level changes by moving the corresponding handles upwards/downwards.

The end level is the pedal level immediately before the retake or pedal level change occurs, and the start level is the pedal level immediately after the retake or pedal level change occurs.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select one of the handles on the retakes or pedal level changes whose start/end pedal level you want to change.
    • Select the left handle to change the end pedal level.

    • Select the right handle to change the start pedal level.

    Tip

    You can show handles on all items, not just selected items, by choosing Engrave > Show Handles > Always. This can make it easier to select individual handles on multiple items.

  2. Move the start level handles in any of the following ways:
    • Press Alt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.

    • Press Alt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.

    • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Alt-Up Arrow to snap the level to 0 (not depressed).

    • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Alt-Down Arrow to snap the level to 1 (fully depressed).

    • Click and drag the handles upwards/downwards to the level you want.

  3. Optional: Repeat steps 1 and 2 for any other handles.

Result

The pedal levels of the selected retakes or pedal level changes are changed.

Tip

The following properties in the Pedal Lines group of the Properties panel are activated when you change the corresponding level at retakes and pedal level changes:

  • Start level at retake

  • End level at retake

You can also use these properties to change the corresponding level at retakes and pedal level changes by changing the values in the value fields. For example, 1 is fully depressed and 0 is not depressed.

Deactivating the properties resets the selected pedal lines to their default start/end levels.
