2. Move the arpeggio signs 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 arpeggio signs are moved graphically, without affecting the rhythmic positions to
which they apply.
TIP
The following properties in the Arpeggios group of the Properties panel are activated
automatically when you move the corresponding part of arpeggio signs:
● Top Y offset moves the top of arpeggio signs vertically.
● Bottom Y offset moves the bottom of arpeggio signs vertically.
● X offset moves whole arpeggio signs horizontally.
For example, if you move a whole arpeggio sign upwards, both handles are moved, so Top Y
offset and Bottom Y offset are both activated. You can also use all three properties to move
arpeggio signs graphically by changing the values in the value elds.
Deactivating the properties resets the selected arpeggio signs to their default position.

Showing arpeggio signs before/after grace notes
You can show arpeggio signs before/after grace notes individually. By default, arpeggio signs are
positioned immediately to the left of the notes to which they apply, and so are positioned
between normal notes and grace notes.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the arpeggio signs you want to show before grace notes.
2. In the Properties panel, activate/deactivate Arpeggio before grace notes in the
Arpeggios group.
RESULT
The selected arpeggio signs are shown before grace notes when the property is activated, and
after grace notes when the property is deactivated.
