Lines
Lines can convey a variety of meanings in music, such as indicating which hand to use in piano music or a gradual change in bow pressure. In Dorico Pro, lines can be vertical, horizontal, or angled between notes and have different styles and appearances.
Positions of lines
The position of lines relative to notes and staves depends on the line type and, for horizontal lines, their attachment type.
Showing vertical lines on the right/left of notes
You can change the side of notes on which vertical lines appear, for example, to show selected vertical lines on the right side of notes.
