Allowing/Disallowing partial harp pedaling

You can allow/disallow partial harp pedaling for individual note name harp pedal diagrams. The default setting in Dorico Elements is to allow partial harp pedaling for up to three pedal changes. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
Note
  • These steps only apply to harp pedal diagrams using note names.

  • Harp pedal diagrams positioned at the very beginning of a flow can only appear as full harp pedal diagrams.

Prerequisite

  • Harp pedaling is shown in the current layout.

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

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

Procedure

  1. Select the note name harp pedal diagrams for which you want to allow/disallow partial harp pedaling. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Partial pedaling in the Harp Pedals group.
  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

Partial harp pedaling is allowed for the selected note name harp pedal diagrams when the checkbox is activated, and disallowed 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.
