Changing the start level of pedal lines

You can change the start level of individual sustain pedal lines by moving start level handles upwards/downwards.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the right handles on the start signs whose start pedal levels 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 start level handles in any of the following ways:
    • Press Alt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.

    • Press Alt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.

    • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Alt-Up Arrow to snap the level to 0 (not depressed).

    • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Alt-Down Arrow to snap the level to 1 (fully depressed).

    • Click and drag the handles upwards/downwards to the level you want.

Result

The start level of the selected pedal line is changed.

Tip

Start level in the Pedal Lines group of the Properties panel is activated when you change the start level of pedal lines.

You can also use this property to change the start level of pedal lines by changing the value in the value field. For example, 1 is fully depressed and 0 is not depressed.

Deactivating the property resets the selected pedal lines to their default start level.
