Changing the placement of percussion legends relative to the staff

By default, percussion legends are shown above the staff but you can change their placement so they are shown below the staff.

Procedure

  1. Select the percussion legends whose staff-relative placement you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Placement in the Percussion Legends group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • Above

    • Below

Result

The selected percussion legends appear above/below the staff.

Tip

  • Deactivating Placement returns the selected percussion legends to their default staff-relative placement.

  • You can change the default distance between all percussion legends and other items project-wide in the Percussion Legends section of the Percussion page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
