Changing the vertical position of markers

You can show markers above or below the system, and you can show them on a separate single-line staff above a selected instrument family group.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L to open Layout Options.
  2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to change the vertical position of markers.

    By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog. You can select other layouts by using the selection options in the action bar, Shift-clicking adjacent layouts, and Ctrl/Cmd-clicking individual layouts.

  3. Click Markers in the page list.
  4. Choose one of the following options for Vertical position:
    • Above system

    • Below system

    • Timecode staff

  5. Optional: If you chose Timecode staff, select the bracketed instrument family above which you want to show the timecode staff from the Position timecode staff above bracket menu.
  6. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The vertical position of markers is changed in the selected layouts.

Note

If you show markers on a timecode staff, timecodes are also shown on the staff by default. If you only want to show markers on a separate staff and exclude timecodes, you must then change Timecode frequency on timecode staff to Never.
