Alignment
Symbols can be aligned as in drawing programs. Proceed as follows:
1. Select all objects that you want to align.
2. Open the Scores menu and select an option from the Align Elements submenu.
The “Dynamics” option is a special function for aligning dynamic symbols, as
described in the section
“Aligning dynamics” on page 834.
Symbol details
This section further describes some of the symbol tabs.
The Quick Staff Setup tab
This tab combines the basic settings for Display Quantize (see“Display Quantize
values” on page 773), staff mode (see “Setting up the voices” on page 781) as well
as staff presets (see “About the polyphonic presets” on page 782) for quick access.
The “Clefs etc.” tab
Clefs
You can insert a clef symbol anywhere in the score. This has an effect on the notes,
just as the first clef on the staff has. And just as with the first clef, the type is selected
from the Edit Clef dialog that appears when you select the Clef symbol and click in the
Score. See
“Inserting and editing clefs, keys, or time signatures” on page 768 and
“Setting clef, key, and time signature” on page 738 for details.
!
Note symbols like staccato and accents can only be aligned horizontally.
