Changing the rhythmic grid value

You can change the value of the rhythmic grid. The value is indicated by the note value symbol in the status bar and by the beat divisions and subdivisions in the ruler markings above the caret.

The rhythmic grid value is set to eighth notes (quavers) by default.

Procedure

Change the value of the rhythmic grid in any of the following ways:

  • Press Alt-] to decrease the rhythmic grid value.

  • Press Alt-[ to increase the rhythmic grid value.

  • Choose Write > Rhythmic Grid > Decrease Grid Resolution.

  • Choose Write > Rhythmic Grid > Increase Grid Resolution.

  • Choose Write > Rhythmic Grid > [Beat division].

  • Select a value from the Rhythmic Grid selector in the status bar.

Result

Decreasing the rhythmic grid value makes it finer by making the note value shorter. Increasing the rhythmic grid value makes it coarser by making the note value longer.

Tip

You can assign your own key commands for increasing and decreasing the rhythmic grid value.
