Changing the start position of trills

You can change whether the start position of individual trills is aligned with the notehead or with its accidental, independently of your project-wide setting. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

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

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the trills whose start position you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Start position in the Trills group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:
    • Notehead

    • Accidental

Result

The start position of the selected trills is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Tip

You can change the start position of all trills project-wide on the Ornaments page in Engraving Options.
