Changing the size of notes/items

You can change the size of individual notes and items using the default scale sizes for cues, grace notes, a custom scale size, or a custom scale size in addition to a default scale size. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Tip

If you want to change the size of notes because you want them to be grace notes or cues, you can input them as either grace notes or cues instead.

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/items whose size you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate any of the following properties in the Common group:

    • If you want to use a default scale size, activate Scale.

    • If you want to use a custom scale size, activate Custom scale.

    • If you want to use a custom scale size based on a default scale size, activate both Scale and Custom scale.

  3. Optional: If you activated Scale, select one of the following options from the menu:

    • Normal

    • Grace

    • Cue

    • Cue grace

  4. Optional: If you activated Custom scale, change the value in the value field.

Result

The size of the selected notes/items is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

  • If you activated Scale, the selected notes/items are changed to the selected default scale size.

  • If you activated Custom Scale, the selected notes/items are changed to the custom percentage scale size you set.

  • If you activated both Scale and Custom Scale, the selected notes/items are changed to the custom percentage scale size of the selected default scale size. For example, if you selected Grace for Scale then set Custom Scale to 50, the size of the selected notes/items is half the size of grace notes.
