Octave lines in Engrave mode

In Engrave mode, each octave line has three square handles. You can use these handles to move the start/end of octave lines graphically, and to lengthen/shorten octave line hooks.

  • The start handle moves the start of octave lines graphically. You can move this handle to the right/left.

    Note

    When using the keyboard, you can also move this handle upwards/downwards. This moves the whole octave line.

  • The top end handle moves the end of octave lines graphically. You can move this handle to the right/left.

  • The bottom end handle changes the length of the hook. You can move this handle upwards/downwards.

If octave lines cross system and frame breaks, you can move the line segments on each side of the break independently.
