Other options for tied notes
Tie direction
As described in the section “Tie pop-up menu” on page
607, you can set the direction of the tie manually in the
Set Note Info dialog.
Flat ties
If you prefer ties to be displayed as flat lines, rather than
regular “curved” ties, activate the “Flat Ties” option in the
Score Settings dialog, on the Project–Notation Style sub
-
page (H.W. Henze Style category).
Graphic moving of notes
There might be instances where the “graphical” order of
the notes is not the one you want. In this case, you can
move notes without affecting the score or playback in any
way. This can be done with the Layout tool or using your
computer keyboard.
By using the Layout tool
1. Select the Layout tool in the Score Editor toolbar.
2. Click again on the tool button to open the Mode pop-
up menu and select the desired option.
The following modes are available:
3. Click on the note and drag it to the desired position.
Note that movement is restricted to horizontally only.
Ö You can also automatically select all notes making up
a chord, by holding down [Alt]/[Option] and clicking on
one of the notes with the Layout tool.
By using the computer keyboard
You can assign key commands for moving objects graph-
ically. In the Key Commands dialog on the File menu, the
commands are found under the Nudge category and
called Graphical Left, Right, Bottom and Top (only the
Graphical Left and Right commands apply to notes).
After assigning key commands, you select the notes that
you want to move and press the assigned keys to adjust
their graphical position.
Cue notes
You can create cue notes by using voices or by converting
individual notes into cue notes.
Setting a voice to display cue notes
1. Open the Score Settings dialog on the Staff page and
select the Polyphonic tab.
This is described in the section “Setting up the voices” on page 595.
2. Click in the “Cue” column for the voice, so that a
checkmark appears.
3. Decide how to handle rests for the voice.
You might for example leave “Rests–Show” activated and activate “Re-
duce”. If you do, you get rests in this voice, but not as many as otherwise.
Empty bars, for example, do not have any rests at all.
4. Close the dialog.
5. Move the notes into the cue voice.
Polyphonic voicing is described in detail on “Polyphonic voicing” on
page 593.

Mode Description
Move Single
Object
In this mode, only the object you move with the Layout tool
is affected (moved). Use this if you want to “correct” the
position of one single note in the score, for example.
Move Notes
and Context
In this mode, other score objects are moved accordingly
when you move a note with the Layout tool. Use this mode
if you want to correct the display of all score objects within
a bar rather than modifying single note positions.
