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 selected tremolo strokes are moved upwards/downwards.
NOTE
Moving multi-note tremolo strokes also changes the length of the stems to which they are
attached.
When you rst move tremolo strokes graphically, they may appear to move in the wrong
direction or by a larger increment than you expected. This is because their positions are
reset when you override those positions by moving them.
TIP
The following properties in the Beaming group of the Properties panel are activated
automatically when you move the start/end of multi-note tremolo strokes:
Start Y offset moves the start of multi-note tremolo strokes vertically by moving the end
of the corresponding stem.
End Y offset moves the end of multi-note tremolo strokes vertically by moving the end of
the corresponding stem.
Tremolo Y in the Notes and Rests group of the Properties panel is activated automatically when
you move single-note tremolo strokes. It moves single-note tremolo strokes vertically.
For example, if you move a whole multi-note tremolo stroke upwards, both stem handles are
moved so both properties are activated. You can also use these properties to move tremolo
strokes by changing the values in the value elds. However, you must select the noteheads
rather than the tremolo strokes in order to see the relevant groups in the Properties panel.
Deactivating the properties resets the selected stem handles, and therefore tremolo strokes, to
their default positions.
