Chapter 33 Working With Notation 737
Changing the Horizontal Position of Notes
You can set the horizontal position of each note, individually.
To change a note’s horizontal position, do one of the following:
m Click-hold the note with the Layout tool, and drag to the left or right.
m Choose the desired value in the Horizontal Position menu of the Note Attributes
window.
Changing the Position of Accidentals
This note attribute defines the deviation from the Acc./Note Distance value, chosen in
the Layout tab of the Score project settings.
To change the accidental distance from the note:
m Choose the desired value in the Accidental Position menu of the Note Attributes
window.
Changing the Display of Accidentals
By default, the display of accidentals depends on the chosen key signature.
To change the display of accidentals, do one of the following:
m Choose the desired value in the Enharmonic Shift or Accidental Type menu (see list of
settings below) of the Note Attributes window.
m Choose the desired value from the Attributes > Accidentals menu.
You can choose between the following display options:
 Default Accidental: The display of accidentals depends on the chosen key signature.
 Enharmonic Shift: #: Converts G flat to F sharp, or F to E sharp, for example.
 Enharmonic Shift: b: Converts D sharp to E flat, or B to C flat, for example.
 Flats To Sharps: Similar to Enharmonic Shift #, but leaves notes without flats
unaltered (useful for multiple selection).
 Sharps To Flats: Similar to Enharmonic Shift b, but leaves notes without sharps
unaltered (useful for multiple selection).
 Force Accidental: Forces the display of accidentals (and naturals).
 Hide Accidental: Displays the note without accidentals (MIDI playback is not affected).
 Guide Accidental: Forces the display of the accidentals (and naturals) in parentheses.
m Use one of the following key commands:
 Default Accidentals
 Enharmonic Shift: #
 Enharmonic Shift: b
 Flats To Sharps
 Sharps To Flats
 Force Accidental
