Vibrato bar dives and returns in Engrave mode
In Engrave mode, each vibrato bar dive and return has multiple handles that you can move independently to adjust their graphical position and shape.
On notation staves, each vibrato bar dive and vibrato bar return has three square handles that you can move independently. When you move either of the start/end handles, the middle handle also moves to retain its position relative to the start/end handles.
On tablature, vibrato bar dives and returns have the following handles:
-
Vibrato bar dive start handle
-
Vibrato bar dive end handle/Vibrato bar return start handle
-
Vibrato bar return end handle
-
Bend interval handle
You can move these handles to change the shape or angle of vibrato bar dives and returns and move bend intervals. When you move the vibrato bar dive end handle/vibrato bar return start handle with the mouse, both handles move together. When you move the handle using the keyboard, by default only the vibrato bar dive end handle moves. The same is true for consecutive vibrato bar bends with the same pitch direction.
When you move the vibrato bar dive end handle, the bend interval also moves to retain its position relative to the end handle.
If vibrato bar dives and returns cross system and frame breaks, you can move the vibrato bar dive and return segment on each side of the break independently.
The following properties in the Guitar Bends group of the Properties panel are activated automatically when you move the corresponding vibrato bar dive/return handle:
-
Start offset moves vibrato bar dive/return start handles. X moves them horizontally, Y moves them vertically.
-
Mid offset moves vibrato bar dive/return middle handles. X moves them horizontally, Y moves them vertically.
-
End offset moves vibrato bar dive/return end handles. X moves them horizontally, Y moves them vertically.
-
Interval offset moves vibrato bar dive/return interval handles. X moves them horizontally, Y moves them vertically.
