Deleting string indicators
You can remove string indicators inside the staff from notes after you have input them. You can
do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains. However,
because string indicators inside the staff are properties of notes rather than separate items, you
cannot select and delete them as you would for other items.
NOTE
These steps only apply to string indicators inside the staff. You can delete string indicators
outside the staff in the same ways as for other items.
PREREQUISITE
You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.
PROCEDURE
1.
Select the notes from which you want to remove string indicators inside the staff.
