Notation reference
Cues
Cues are passages of music shown in instrumental parts that are played by a different player, usually to help orientate players before entries or solos following a significant passage of rests.
Rhythmic cues
Rhythmic cues only show the rhythm of the source instrument, whether it is pitched or unpitched, and are positioned above the staff by default.
Changing the distance between rhythmic cues and the staff
You can change the distance between individual rhythmic cues and the staff, independently of your project-wide setting.

Changing the distance between rhythmic cues and the staff

You can change the distance between individual rhythmic cues and the staff, independently of your project-wide setting.

Prerequisite

The lower zone is shown.
Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.
If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

Select the labels of the rhythmic cues whose distance from the staff you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
In the Properties panel, activate Distance in the Cues group.
Change the value in the value field.

Result

The position of the selected cues is changed according to the new value. For example, entering 0 positions rhythmic cues in the space immediately above the top line on the staff. Higher values increase the distance between rhythmic cues and the staff.

Tip

You can change the default distance between all rhythmic cues and the top line of the staff project-wide on the Cues page in Engraving Options.
