Changing the staff position of rhythm slashes
You can change the staff position of rhythm slashes in both slash voices and slash regions, for
example, to accommodate other notes at the same rhythmic positions better. By default, rhythm
slashes are positioned on the middle line of the staff.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the rhythm slashes whose staff position you want to change.
● For notes in slash voices, you must select every note whose staff position you want to
change.
●
For slash regions, you can select any part of each region whose staff position you want
to change.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Slash pos. in the corresponding group for the type of
rhythm slash whose staff position you want to change:
●
Notes and Rests for notes in slash voices
●
Slash Regions for slash regions
3. Change the value in the value eld.
RESULT
The staff position of the selected rhythm slashes is changed. For example, changing the Slash
pos. value to 4 positions rhythm slashes on the top line of a ve-line staff, while -4 positions them
on the bottom line.
If any of the rhythm slashes have stems, their stem direction is adjusted automatically.

Hiding/Showing notes alongside slash regions
You can hide/show notes at the same rhythmic positions as slash regions, for example, if you
want to input notes to hear in playback but only want to show the slash region, or if you want to
notate suggested notes in addition to the slash region.
PROCEDURE
1. Select any part of each slash region alongside which you want to hide/show other notes.
2. In the Properties panel, activate/deactivate Show other voices in the Slash Regions group.
RESULT
All notes in other voices present alongside the selected slash regions are shown when Show
other voices is activated, and hidden when it is deactivated.
