Moving harp pedal diagrams graphically

You can move harp pedal diagrams graphically without changing the rhythmic positions to which they apply. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

  • Harp pedaling is shown in the current layout.

  • Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the harp pedal diagrams you want to move.
  2. Move the harp pedal diagrams in any of the following ways:

    • Press Alt/Opt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.

    • Press Alt/Opt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.

    • Press Alt/Opt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.

    • Press Alt/Opt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.

      Tip

      If you want to move items by larger increments, you can press Ctrl/Cmd as well as the standard key command, for example, Ctrl/Cmd-Alt/Opt-Left Arrow.

    • Click and drag them in any direction.

Result

The selected harp pedal diagrams are moved to new graphical positions. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Tip

Offset in the Harp Pedals group of the Properties panel is activated automatically when you move harp pedal diagrams.

  • Offset X moves harp pedal diagrams horizontally.

  • Offset Y moves harp pedal diagrams vertically.

You can also use this property to move harp pedal diagrams by changing the values in the value fields.

Deactivating the property resets the selected harp pedal diagrams to their default positions.
