Hiding/Showing trill extension lines

You can hide/show the extension lines of individual trills. 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.

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the trills whose extension lines you want to hide/show. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate/deactivate Has trill line in the Trills group.
  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

Trill extension lines are shown when the checkbox is activated, and hidden when the checkbox is deactivated. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

When the property is deactivated, trills follow your project-wide setting.

Tip

You can hide/show trill extension lines on all trills project-wide on the Ornaments page in Engraving Options.

You can also change the end position of trill extension lines relative to final noteheads in tie chains.
