714 Chapter 33 Working With Notation
If you combine this feature with Attributes > Stem > Hide, you can completely hide
these notes in the printed score.
Symbols Attached to Notes
This group contains symbols which usually only refer to one note at a time. This
includes fermatas, accents, phrasing symbols, and bow markings, for example (trills are
in a separate group).
To assign any of these symbols to a note:
m Drag the desired symbol onto a note head (watch the help tag to ensure accurate
placement).
These symbols are automatically positioned when assigned to a note. They also move
with their parent notes, when transposed or otherwise graphically altered.
To insert a symbol that remains independent of any note:
m Press Option during insertion.
This allows you to place a fermata above an automatically created rest, for example.
Note: The symbols in this Part box group can affect the velocity and playback length of
notes they are assigned to.
If you want these symbols to affect playback:
m Define the effect of each symbol, separately, in File > Project Settings > Score > MIDI
Meaning (see “MIDI Meaning” on page 828).
