Changing the size of gaps in dashed/dotted slurs

You can change the length of gaps in dashed/dotted slurs individually, independently of your project-wide settings.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the dashed/dotted slurs whose gap length you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate one of the following properties in the Slurs group:
    • For dashed slurs, activate Dash gap length.

    • For dotted slurs, activate Dot gap length.

  3. Change the values in the value fields.

Result

Increasing the values makes the gaps between dashes/dots larger. Decreasing the values makes the gaps between dashes/dots smaller.

Tip

You can find options to set the default length of the gaps between dashes/dots in all dashed/dotted slurs project-wide by clicking Advanced Options in the Design section of the Slurs page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
