Changing the end position of horizontal lines

By default, rhythmic position-attached horizontal lines end immediately after the last note, chord, or rest at their end rhythmic position. You can change the end position of rhythmic position-attached horizontal lines individually, for example, if you want them to end immediately before the following note, chord, or rest.

Note

These steps only apply to rhythmic position-attached horizontal lines.

Procedure

  1. Select the rhythmic position-attached horizontal lines whose end position you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Horizontal end position in the Horizontal Lines group.
  3. Select one of the following options from the menu:
    • End at right-hand side of final note

    • End immediately before following note

Result

The end position of the selected rhythmic position-attached horizontal lines is changed.
