Changing the size of gaps in dashed/dotted slurs
You can change the length of gaps in dashed/dotted slurs individually, independently of your project-wide settings. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
Prerequisite
-
The lower zone is shown.
-
Properties
is selected in the lower zone toolbar. -
Graphic Editing
is selected in the Engrave toolbox. -
You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.
Procedure
- In Engrave mode, select the dashed/dotted slurs whose gap length you want to change.
-
In the Properties panel, activate one of the following properties in the Slurs group:
-
For dashed slurs, activate Dash gap length.
-
For dotted slurs, activate Dot gap length.
-
- Change the values in the value fields.
Result
Increasing the values makes the gaps between dashes/dots larger. Decreasing the values makes the gaps between dashes/dots smaller. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
Tip
You can change the default length of the gaps between dashes/dots in all dashed/dotted slurs project-wide in .
