Changing the staff position of rhythm slashes
You can change the staff position of rhythm slashes in both slash voices and slash regions; for example, to accommodate other notes at the same rhythmic positions better. By default, rhythm slashes are positioned on the middle line of the staff.
Prerequisite
-
The lower zone is shown.
-
Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.
-
If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.
Procedure
-
Select the rhythm slashes whose staff position you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
-
For notes in slash voices, you must select every note whose staff position you want to change.
-
For slash regions, you can select any part of each region whose staff position you want to change.
-
-
In the Properties panel, activate Slash pos. in the corresponding group for the type of rhythm slash whose staff position you want to change:
-
Notes and Rests for notes in slash voices
-
Slash Regions for slash regions
-
- Change the value in the value field.
Result
The staff position of the selected rhythm slashes is changed. For example, changing the Slash pos. value to 4 positions rhythm slashes on the top line of a five-line staff, while -4 positions them on the bottom line.
If any of the rhythm slashes have stems, their stem direction is adjusted automatically.
