Changing the erasure padding of text playing techniques

You can change the erasure padding of individual playing techniques, including changing the padding between playing techniques and each edge of their erased areas independently. 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.

  • Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

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

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the text playing techniques whose erasure padding you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate the Erasure padding properties, individually or together, in the Playing Techniques group.

    • L changes the padding between playing techniques and their left edge.

    • R changes the padding between playing techniques and their right edge.

    • T changes the padding between playing techniques and their top edge.

    • B changes the padding between playing techniques and their bottom edge.

  3. Change the values in the value fields.

Result

Increasing the values increases the padding, decreasing the values decreases the padding. 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 default erasure padding of all playing techniques project-wide in the Design section of the Playing Techniques page in Engraving Options. However, this does not allow you to change the padding of each edge independently.
