Moving glissando lines graphically
You can move individual glissando lines graphically without changing the rhythmic positions to which they are attached. You can move each end of glissando lines independently, meaning you can also adjust the angle and graphical length of individual glissando lines.
If glissando lines cross system and frame breaks, you can move each glissando line segment independently.
You cannot move glissando lines rhythmically. If you want to change the rhythmic positions of glissando lines, you must delete them from their original positions and input new glissando lines at the new positions.
Procedure
Result
The selected glissando lines or handles are moved graphically, without affecting the rhythmic positions to which they are attached.
The following properties in the Glissando Lines group of the Properties panel are activated automatically when you move the corresponding glissando line handle:
-
Start offset moves start glissando line handles. X moves them horizontally, Y moves them vertically.
-
End offset moves end glissando line handles. X moves them horizontally, Y moves them vertically.
For example, if you move a whole glissando line, both handles are moved so both properties are activated. You can also use these properties to move and lengthen/shorten glissando lines graphically by changing the values in the value fields.
Deactivating the properties resets the selected glissando lines to their default positions.
