Hiding/Showing cautionary key signatures

You can hide/show individual cautionary key signatures shown at the ends of systems when key signature changes occur at system breaks, independently of your per-flow setting. For example, to save horizontal space when using key signatures with many accidentals. 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 cautionary key signatures that you want to hide/show. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Cautionary at end of system in the Key Signatures group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • Hide

    • Show

Result

The selected cautionary key signatures are hidden/shown at the ends of systems. This does not affect key signatures shown at the start of systems.

If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Tip

You can hide/show cautionary key signatures by default in each flow independently on the Key Signatures page in Notation Options.
