Changing the placement of ornaments relative to the staff

Ornaments are usually placed above the staff, but they are placed below the staff for down-stem voices when there are multiple voices on the staff. You can change the staff-relative placement of ornaments individually.

2. In the Properties panel, activate Placement in the corresponding group for the selected ornaments:

   • Ornaments

   • Trills
