Lines
Lines can convey a variety of meanings in music, such as indicating which hand to use in piano music or a gradual change in bow pressure. In Dorico Pro, lines can be vertical, horizontal, or angled between notes and have different styles and appearances.
Positions of lines
The position of lines relative to notes and staves depends on the line type and, for horizontal lines, their attachment type.
Changing the horizontal order of vertical lines
You can change the horizontal order of vertical lines when multiple vertical lines exist at the same rhythmic position and on the same side of notes.

Changing the horizontal order of vertical lines

You can change the horizontal order of vertical lines when multiple vertical lines exist at the same rhythmic position and on the same side of notes.

Prerequisite

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

Procedure

Select the vertical lines whose order you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
In the Properties panel, activate Column in the Vertical Lines group.
Change the value in the value field.

Result

The order of the selected vertical lines relative to any other vertical lines at the same rhythmic positions is changed. Lines with higher Column values are placed further to the left, while lines with lower values are placed further to the right.
