Deleting string indicators

You can remove string indicators inside the staff from notes after you have input them. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains. However, because string indicators inside the staff are properties of notes rather than separate items, you cannot select and delete them as you would for other items.

Note

These steps only apply to string indicators inside the staff. You can delete string indicators outside the staff in the same ways as for other items.

Prerequisite

  • 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 notes from which you want to remove string indicators inside the staff. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, deactivate Show in the String Indicators group.

Result

String indicators inside the staff are removed from the selected notes. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
