Moving figured bass resolutions
You can move resolution figures rhythmically, without affecting the position of the suspension figure or the overall duration of the figured bass suspension; for example, if you want a suspension to resolve on a different note.
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 resolution figures you want to move. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
- In the Properties panel, activate Resolution pos. in the Figured Bass group.
-
Move the selected resolution figures in any of the following ways:
-
To move them to the right, increase the value in the left value field.
-
To move them to the left, decrease the value in the left value field.
-
To move them to the left to grace notes at the rhythmic position set by the left value field, decrease the value in the right value field.
Tip1 represents a quarter note.
-
Result
The selected resolution figures are moved rhythmically.
In Write mode, you can also click and drag resolution figure handles to the right/left according to the current rhythmic grid resolution.
Example
For example, entering 1 into the left value field and -1/2 into the right value field moves resolution figures a quarter note to the right of suspension figures, and to the first of two sixteenth grace notes at that rhythmic position.
