Changing the angles of tuplet brackets

You can change the angles of individual tuplet brackets by moving the square handles on each corner of tuplet brackets to new graphical positions independently. 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 one of the following handles on the tuplet brackets whose angle you want to change:

    • The start corner handle

    • The end corner handle

  2. Move the handles in any of the following ways:

    • Press Alt/Opt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.

    • Press Alt/Opt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.

    • Press Alt/Opt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.

    • Press Alt/Opt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.

      Tip

      If you want to move handles by larger increments, you can press Ctrl/Cmd as well as the standard key command, for example, Ctrl/Cmd-Alt/Opt-Left Arrow.

    • Click and drag them in any direction.

  3. Optional: Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other corner handle on the tuplet brackets whose angle you want to change.

Result

The angles of the selected tuplet brackets is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
