Moving slash regions

You can move slash regions to different rhythmic positions after they have been input. Because multiple slash regions can exist at the same rhythmic position, you can also move slash regions so they overlap with other slash regions.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select any part of each slash region you want to move.
  2. Move the selected slash regions according to the current rhythmic grid resolution 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.

    Note

    You cannot move slash regions rhythmically with the mouse.

Result

The selected slash regions are moved to new rhythmic positions.

Note

If a single slash region passes over another slash region as part of its move, the existing one is unaffected as multiple slash regions can exist at the same rhythmic position. Where slash regions overlap, the staff positions of slashes are automatically adjusted.

However, when you move multiple slash regions together, any existing slash regions they pass over are shortened or deleted accordingly.

You can undo this action, but any slash regions shortened/deleted in the process are only restored if you moved slash regions using the keyboard.
