User manual

RESULT
The hook type at the start/end of the selected pedal lines is changed.
TIP
You can change the default appearance of all pedal lines project-wide on the Pedal Lines page in
Engrave > Engraving Options.
Lengthening/Shortening pedal line hooks
You can change the length of hooks shown at the start/end of pedal lines individually,
independently of each other and independently of your project-wide settings.
For example, if you have a pedal line with a hook at the start/end, you can make the end hook
longer without changing the length of the start hook.
NOTE
This only applies to pedal lines that have a hook as their start sign and/or end sign.
PROCEDURE
1. In Engrave mode, select the top handle at the start/end of the pedal lines whose hooks
you want to lengthen/shorten.
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 handles in any of the following ways:
● Press Alt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.
● Press Alt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.
TIP
If you want to move handles by larger increments, you can press Ctrl/Cmd as well
as the standard key command, for example, Ctrl/Cmd-Alt-Up Arrow.
● Click and drag them upwards/downwards.
RESULT
The length of the selected pedal line hooks is changed.
TIP
The following properties in the Pedal Lines group of the Properties panel are activated
automatically when you move the corresponding pedal line hook:
● Start hook length changes the length of hooks at the start of pedal lines.
● End hook length changes the length of hooks at the end of pedal lines.
You can also use these properties to lengthen/shorten pedal line hooks by changing the values in
the value elds.
Deactivating the properties resets the selected pedal lines to their default hook length.
