The basics
The symbols Inspector
The symbol buttons, which are used to add symbols to the
score, can be found in the Score Editor Inspector to the
left of the score display.
• To display the Inspector, click the Show Symbols but-
ton on the toolbar.
• You can open Symbol Inspector tabs as palettes by
right-clicking on one of the buttons and selecting “Open
as Palette” from the context menu.
You can move symbol palettes around on the screen by clicking and
dragging their title bars.
Right-clicking in a symbol palette brings up a pop-up
menu.
• Select “Toggle” to switch between a vertical or a horizontal
palette.
• Select one of the symbol palettes on the pop-up menu to
bring up that palette and replace the current.
• Hold down [Ctrl]/[Command] and select a palette from the
pop-up menu to open the selected palette in a new window
(without closing the existing one).
• Click the close button to close a symbol palette.
How to work with symbols is explained in detail in the
chapter “Working with symbols” on page 556.
The Position Info window
To help you further when positioning objects in the score,
Page Mode has a special Position Info window, in which
you can view and adjust object positions numerically, in
the unit selected for the ruler. To display the Position Info
window, click in the ruler.
Showing and hiding “invisible” elements
Some of the elements in the score will not be printed, but
rather serve as indicators for layout changes, handles, etc.
These elements can be hidden or shown in any combina-
tion by using the display filter bar.
• If the filter bar isn’t shown, click the Show Filter View
button on the toolbar.
The checkboxes on the filter bar determine whether an
element should be visible (checkbox ticked) or not. The
following options are available:

“Moving and duplicating with the bar handles” on page
