RESULT
If Show if sucient space is chosen, glissando line text is not shown if the glissando line is too
short.
If Always show is chosen, glissando line text is always shown, even if the glissando line is short.
However, this can cause the glissando line text to collide with other items, such as noteheads and
stems.
TIP
You can increase the gaps between individual noteheads by adjusting note spacing in Engrave
mode.

Moving glissando lines graphically
You can move individual glissando lines graphically without changing the rhythmic positions to
which they are attached. You can move each end of glissando lines independently, meaning you
can also adjust the angle and graphical length of individual glissando lines.
If glissando lines cross system and frame breaks, you can move each glissando line segment
independently.
NOTE
You cannot move glissando lines rhythmically. If you want to change the rhythmic positions of
glissando lines, you must delete them from their original positions and input new glissando lines
at the new positions.
PROCEDURE
1. In Engrave mode, select one of the following that you want to move:
● Whole glissando lines, or glissando line segments
● Individual handles on glissando lines
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 glissando lines 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.
