Moving cue labels graphically

You can move individual cue labels graphically without affecting the rhythmic positions of the cue. You can move cue labels at the start and end of cues independently of each other.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the cue labels you want to move.
  2. Move the cue labels 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 items 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.

Result

The selected cue labels are moved to new graphical positions.

Tip

Offset in the Cues group of the Properties panel is activated automatically when you move cue labels.

  • Offset X moves cue labels horizontally.

  • Offset Y moves cue labels vertically.

You can also use this property to move cue labels by changing the values in the value fields. The same property applies to cue labels both at the start and end of cues.

Deactivating the property resets the selected cue labels to their default positions.
