Changing the rhythmic position of substitution ngerings

Substitution ngerings are shown as immediate by default, meaning that the substitution

takes place on the same note, but you can change the rhythmic position at which individual

substitutions take place.

PROCEDURE

1. Select the substitution ngering whose deferred rhythmic position you want to change.

2. Change the rhythmic position of the substitution ngering in any of the following ways:

● Click and drag the circular handle to the right/left.

● Activate Substitution offset in the Fingering and Positions group of the Properties

panel.

Change the rhythmic position of substitutions as fractions of a quarter note (crotchet) by

entering a value into the left value eld, or by clicking the arrows beside the value eld.

Increasing the value moves substitutions to later positions, decreasing the value moves

them to earlier positions.

NOTE

The right value eld is for the grace note position at which substitutions occur, if

applicable.

RESULT

The rhythmic position of the substitution ngering is changed.

Dorico Elements automatically arranges deferred substitutions so they are ordered appropriately

alongside any

ngerings that coincide with the substitution.

NOTE

You can only change the position of single substitution ngerings when dragging their handles

with the mouse. However, you can change the positions of multiple substitution

ngerings with

Substitution offset in the Fingering and Positions group of the Properties panel.

Deferred substitutions are always shown with horizontal lines.
