NOTE
If moving harp pedal diagrams means some notes no longer t with the current harp pedal
diagram and colors are shown for notes out of range, these notes appear red.

Partial harp pedaling
Partial harp pedal diagrams only show the notes whose pedal setting must change at that
position, rather than showing the required settings for all pedals. This can make those changes
immediately clear to the performer, as they have fewer pedals to read.
Partial pedal diagrams for a sequence containing several quick pedal changes
You can allow partial harp pedaling for individual harp pedal diagrams and you can set a
maximum threshold of pedal changes at a single position, above which all harp pedal diagrams
must show all pedals. This is because performers are used to the pattern of note names in
complete harp pedal diagrams, and if there are many changes in a partial harp pedal diagram,
this can be harder to read than a complete one.
By default, Dorico Elements shows notes in partial harp pedal diagrams on two lines with right-
foot pedals on top and left-foot pedals below.
NOTE
Only harp pedal diagrams using note names can be shown as partial.
Allowing/Disallowing partial harp pedaling
You can allow/disallow partial harp pedaling for individual note name harp pedal diagrams. The
default setting in Dorico Elements is to allow partial harp pedaling for up to three pedal changes.
You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.
