Moving repeat markers graphically

You can move repeat markers graphically, without changing the rhythmic positions to which they are attached.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the repeat markers you want to move.
  2. Move the repeat markers 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 graphical positions of the selected repeat markers are changed.

Tip

Start offset in the Repeat Markers group of the Properties panel is activated automatically when you move repeat markers.

  • Start offset X moves repeat markers horizontally.

  • Start offset Y moves repeat markers vertically.

You can also use this property to move repeat markers by changing the values in the value fields.

Deactivating the property resets the selected repeat markers to their default positions.
