Changing the size of dashes/dots in ties

You can change the size of the dashes/dots in dashed/dotted ties individually. 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 dashed/dotted ties.

Prerequisite

You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the dashed/dotted ties whose dash/dot size you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
    Note

    • In Write mode, you can only select whole tie chains. In Engrave mode, you can select individual ties within tie chains.

    • Any changes to tie chains in Write mode only affect the first tie in the chain.

  2. In the Properties panel, activate Dash/dot in the Ties group.
  3. Change the value in the value field.

Result

Increasing the value makes dashes/dots bigger, decreasing the value makes dashes/dots smaller. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
