Enabling/Disabling text collision avoidance

You can change whether individual text objects automatically move to avoid collisions. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains. Text objects with collision avoidance disabled do not contribute to automatic staff spacing calculations.

Note

These steps do not apply to text in text frames.

Prerequisite

You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the text objects whose collision avoidance you want to enable/disable.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Avoid collisions in the Text group.
  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

The selected text objects avoid collisions when the checkbox is activated, and do not avoid collisions 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.
