User manual

intervals of trills and existing trill intervals within their duration individually after they have been
input.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the trills, trill intervals, or trill interval signposts whose interval you want to change.
NOTE
For trills that span multiple notes and have multiple interval changes, you must select each
trill interval you want to change individually. If you select the trill mark/extension line, only
the
rst trill interval is changed.
2.
In the Properties panel, activate Interval in the Trills group.
The existing interval of the trill is shown as a number and quality.
3.
Change the interval by changing the value in the value eld.
4.
Select one of the following interval qualities from the menu:
● Diminished
● Minor
● Major
● Augmented
RESULT
The interval of the selected trill intervals is changed. This applies from the selected trill intervals
until the next interval change in the trill or the end of the trill, whichever comes
rst. For
example, if you selected a trill with no interval changes within its duration, the interval is
changed for the whole trill.
By default, trill intervals appear as accidentals when the interval is a second and as auxiliary
notes for all other intervals. Signposts are shown at the position of each trill interval that does
not require an accidental or auxiliary note.
However, trill interval signposts are hidden by default.
