Changing the length of fingering slides

You can change the length of individual fingering slides and show them either joining the source and destination fingerings or with a fixed length before the destination note. 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 fingerings belonging to fretted instruments.

Prerequisite

You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the fingering slides whose length you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Slide type in the Fingering and Positions group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • To show fingering slides between the fingerings at the start/end, choose Join.

    • To show fixed length fingering slides before the destination fingerings, choose Destination only.

Result

The length of the selected fingering slides is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
