TIP
You can change the default appearance of all pedal line continuation signs project-wide in the
Design section of the Pedal Lines page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
Pedal line start, continuation, and restorative text
All types of pedal lines can have text as their start signs, instead of glyphs or hooks. You can
override the text shown at the start of pedal lines that have text start signs, you can change the
continuation text shown at the start of new systems, and you can override the restorative text
shown at the end of una corda pedal lines.
You can change the design of all pedal lines project-wide according to their type in the Design
section of the Pedal Lines page in Engraving Options, and you can change the appearance of
individual pedal lines, independently of your project-wide settings.
Pedal lines that use a text indication rather than a symbol
For pedal lines such as una corda or sustain that have text for their start sign, such as Ped. Text,
rather than the more ornate symbol, you can override the text shown at the start of the pedal
line and replace it with your preferred performance direction.
Continuation sign/text
When pedal lines continue onto a new system, a continuation sign/text is shown in parentheses
by default. If the pedal line is using text for their start sign, such as Ped. Text, rather than a
symbol, you can change the text shown at the start of a new system and replace it with your
preferred performance direction.
Una corda pedal lines
The equivalent to the nal pedal lift for the una corda pedal marking is the indication to return to
tre corde. You can override the tre corde text shown at the end of the pedal line and replace it with
your preferred performance direction.
