Moving slashes on grace note stems

You can change the vertical position of individual grace note slashes, independently of your project-wide settings. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

  • Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the grace notes whose slash positions you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate the following properties, individually or together, in the Grace Notes group:

    • Slash inset from stem tip

    • Slash offset to right

  3. Change the values in the value fields.

Result

Increasing Slash inset from stem tip moves grace note slashes further from the tips of stems and closer to the noteheads. Decreasing the value moves them closer to the tips of stems and further from the noteheads.

Increasing Slash offset to right moves grace note slashes to the right, decreasing the value moves them to the left.

If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Tip

You can change the default position of all grace note slashes project-wide in the Grace Notes section of the Notes page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
