3 Editor
Allows you to arrange and edit the components that make up the notehead. You can
arrange and edit components by clicking and dragging them in the editor and by using the
controls at the bottom of the dialog. You can also use the handles on each component to
change their size.
We recommend that you position the notehead in the center of the editor so that its left
edge is aligned with the thicker vertical grid line and its middle is aligned with the thicker
horizontal grid line.
