TIP
You can show handles on all items, not just selected items, by choosing Engrave > Show
Handles > Always. This can make it easier to select individual handles on multiple items.
2. Move the ornaments or handles in any of the following ways:
● Press Alt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.
● Press Alt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.
● Press Alt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.
●
Press Alt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.
TIP
If you want to move items by larger increments, you can press Ctrl/Cmd as well as
the standard key command, for example, Ctrl/Cmd-Alt-Left Arrow.
●
Click and drag them in any direction.
RESULT
The selected items are moved graphically, without affecting the rhythmic positions to which they
are attached.
TIP
Offset in the Common group of the Properties panel is activated automatically when you move
ornaments.
● Offset X moves ornaments horizontally.
● Offset Y moves ornaments vertically.
The following properties in the Trills group of the Properties panel are activated automatically
when you move trills:
● Start offset moves whole trills. X moves them horizontally, Y moves them vertically.
● End offset X moves the end of trill extension lines horizontally.
For example, if you move a whole trill to the right, both handles are moved so both properties
are activated. You can also use these properties to move ornaments/trills and lengthen/shorten
trills graphically by changing the values in the value elds.
Deactivating the properties resets the selected ornaments and trills to their default positions.
