Changing the voice column of notes

You can change the voice column, and therefore the horizontal order, of all notes in selected voices at individual rhythmic positions, independently of your per-flow settings. 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 at least one note in each voice whose voice column you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Voice column index in the Notes and Rests group.
  3. Change the value in the value field.

Result

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

Deactivating the property returns the selected voice to their default order according to your per-flow settings.

Tip

The Voice column index property in the Notes and Rests group of the Properties panel is automatically activated when you swap the order of voices manually.
