to denote that a tie was written incompletely in the source in critical editions.

Changing the style of ties

You can change the style of individual ties. By default, all ties are solid.

PROCEDURE

1. Select the ties whose style you want to change.

NOTE

● In Write mode, you can only select whole tie chains. In Engrave mode, you can select

individual ties within tie chains.

● Any changes to tie chains in Write mode only affect the rst tie in the chain.

2. In the Properties panel, activate Style in the Ties group.

3. Select one of the following options from the menu:

● Solid

● Dashed

● Dotted

● Half-dashed start

● Half-dashed end

● Editorial

RESULT

The style of the selected ties is changed.

TIP

You can set the precise parameters of each of these options project-wide on the Ties page in

Engrave > Engraving Options. For example, you can change the length and width of the stroke

in Editorial ties, the diameter of dots and length of dashes, and the sizes of the gaps between

dots and dashes.
