Changing the angles of glissando lines individually

You can adjust the angles of individual glissando lines in Engrave mode by moving the handles at each end of glissando lines in any direction.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the square handles at the start/end of the glissando lines whose angles you want to change.
    Tip

    You can show handles on all items, not just selected items, by choosing Engrave > Show Handles > Always. This can make it easier to select individual handles on multiple items.

  2. Move the handles in any of the following ways:
    • Press Alt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.

    • Press Alt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.

    • Press Alt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.

    • Press Alt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.

      Tip

      If you want to move handles by larger increments, you can press Ctrl/Cmd as well as the standard key command, for example, Ctrl/Cmd-Alt-Left Arrow.

    • Click and drag them in any direction.

  3. Optional: Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other glissando line handles.

Result

The angles of the selected glissando lines are changed.

Note

You can also use the Start offset and End offset properties in the Glissando Lines group of the Properties panel in Engrave mode to adjust the angles and graphical lengths of glissando lines.

Deactivating the properties resets the selected glissando lines to their default positions.
