To change the position of a single dot

1. Click the Special Tools Tool  . The Special Tools Palette appears.
2. Click the Dot Tool  .
3. Click the measure you want to edit. A handle appears on each dotted note.
4. Click on the handle of the dot you want to move and drag it to its new position. Or,
5. Double-click the handle of the note whose dot positions you want to change. A dialog box appears, where you can enter positioning values for this dot. The units are whatever you’ve specified using the Measurement Units command (Edit menu).
6. Enter new values for the dot placement variables. The Horizontal and Vertical Offsets represent distances you want added to the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the dot, respectively, as measured from its default position. A higher Horizontal Offset value means farther to the right; a higher Vertical Offset value means upward. (A change of 6 points moves the dot one space [the distance between two staff lines].) The Inter-dot Spacing sets the distance between the dots of a note that has more than one dot.
