User manual

● Scale: Controls the size of the selected component. For graphics, X controls its
width, Y controls its height.
NOTE
Although some components scale their height and width independently, others
retain their aspect ratio, meaning only one value affects their overall size.
● Z order: Controls whether the selected component is drawn in front of or behind
other components when they overlap.
The Attachments tab is only available if the playing technique comprises at least two
separate components. It contains the following options:
● Attachment from: Sets the attachment point on the component to the left of the
selected component to which the selected component attaches. We recommend
that you select a right edge attachment point for Attachment from.
● Attachment to: Sets the attachment point on the selected component which
attaches to the component to its left. We recommend that you select a left edge
attachment point for Attachment to.
There are eight attachment points for glyphs and graphics, and eleven for text, due to the extra
space required for letters that extend below the baseline. The example diagram helps you
visualize how these points relate to components.
The attachment points have the following names in the Edit Playing Technique dialog:
1 Top Left
2 Top Center
3 Top Right
4 Middle Left
5 Middle Right
6 Baseline Left (text only)
7 Baseline Center (text only)
8 Baseline Right (text only)
9 Bottom Left
10 Bottom Center
