Adjust the shelf for a shelf screen control in MainStage
When you add a shelf control such as a keyboard to the workspace, it appears at a default
angle, creating a three-dimensional appearance. You can adjust the angle of the shelf
control so that it appears more or less three-dimensional. This can be useful, for example,
if you want to see more of the keys on the keyboard or minimize the amount of space it
occupies onscreen.
You can also move the shelf vertically to change its position in the workspace. When you
move the shelf vertically, all screen controls on the shelf (for example, a modulation or
pitch bend wheel and a keyboard) move with the shelf.
Adjust the angle of the shelf for a shelf control
1. In the MainStage workspace, select the shelf control.
White alignment guides for the control’s shelf appear.
