Changing the size of notes
You can change the size of notes individually using the default scale sizes for notes in cues or
grace notes, or you can use a custom scale size.
TIP
If you want to change the size of notes because you want them to be grace notes or cues, you
can input them as either grace notes or cues instead.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the notes whose size you want to change.
2. In the Properties panel, activate any of the following properties in the Common group:
If you want to use a default scale size, activate Scale.
If you want to use a custom scale size, activate Custom scale.
If you want to use a custom scale size based on a default scale size, activate both Scale
and Custom scale.
3. Optional: If you activated Scale, select one of the following options from the menu:
Normal
Grace
Cue
Cue grace
4. Optional: If you activated Custom scale, change the value in the value eld.
RESULT
If you activated Scale, the selected notes are changed to the selected default scale size.
If you activated Custom Scale, the selected notes are changed to the custom percentage
scale size you set.
If you activated both Scale and Custom Scale, the selected notes are changed to the custom
percentage scale size of the selected default scale size. For example, if you selected Grace
for Scale then set Custom Scale to 50, the size of the selected notes is half the size of grace
notes.

Moving notes rhythmically
You can move notes, including grace notes, to different rhythmic positions along staves after
they have been input.
NOTE
Although these steps can apply to tuplet notes, their behaviour depends on whether or not you
have selected their tuplet brackets or tuplet numbers/ratios. We recommend following the
dedicated steps for moving tuplets.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, select the notes you want to move.
