Allowing/Disallowing partial harp pedaling

You can allow/disallow partial harp pedaling for individual note name harp pedal diagrams, independently of your project-wide settings. For example, if your default setting is to allow partial harp pedaling for up to two pedal changes, but you want to show one harp pedal diagram with three pedal changes as partial. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.
Note

  • These steps only apply to harp pedal diagrams using note names.

  • Harp pedal diagrams positioned at the very beginning of a flow can only appear as full harp pedal diagrams.

Prerequisite

  • Harp pedaling is shown in the current layout.

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

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

Procedure

  1. Select the note name harp pedal diagrams for which you want to allow/disallow partial harp pedaling. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Partial pedaling in the Harp Pedals group.
  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

Partial harp pedaling is allowed for the selected note name harp pedal diagrams when the checkbox is activated, and disallowed when the checkbox is deactivated. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

When the property is deactivated, the selected harp pedal diagrams follow your project-wide settings for partial harp pedaling.

Tip

You can allow/disallow partial pedal diagrams project-wide, and change the default pedal change threshold below which partial harp pedal diagrams are allowed, in the Note Names subsection of the Harp Pedaling page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
