Changing the size of notes

You can change the size of notes individually using the default scale sizes for notes in cues or grace notes, or you can use a custom scale size.

Tip

  • You can change the size of all notes project-wide by changing the notehead design on the Notes page in Engrave > Engraving Options. However, these options offer less flexibility than changing the size of notes individually.

  • If you want to change the size of notes because you want them to be grace notes or cues, you can input them as either grace notes or cues instead.

Procedure

  1. Select the notes whose size you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate any of the following properties in the Common group:

    • If you want to use a default scale size, activate Scale.

    • If you want to use a custom scale size, activate Custom scale.

    • If you want to use a custom scale size based on a default scale size, activate both Scale and Custom scale.

  3. Optional: If you activated Scale, select one of the following options from the menu:

    • Normal

    • Grace

    • Cue

    • Cue grace

  4. Optional: If you activated Custom scale, change the value in the value field.

Result

  • If you activated Scale, the selected notes are changed to the selected default scale size.

  • If you activated Custom Scale, the selected notes are changed to the custom percentage scale size you set.

  • If you activated both Scale and Custom Scale, the selected notes are changed to the custom percentage scale size of the selected default scale size. For example, if you selected Grace for Scale then set Custom Scale to 50, the size of the selected notes is half the size of grace notes.
