To adjust the vertical positioning of expressions on a baseline

You can adjust the vertical positioning of expressions along a baseline after they have been entered provided they have been set to Above Staff Baseline or Below Staff Baseline in the Vertical portion of the Positioning tab of the Text/Shape Expression Designer. See Expression Designer-Positioning. Then, do the following

1. Click the Expression Tool  .
2. From the Expression menu, choose Adjust Above Staff Baseline or Adjust Below Staff Baseline depending on whether you want to move expressions above or below the staff, respectively. Positioning triangles appear to the left of the staff.
3. Drag the positioning triangles to adjust the vertical positioning of the expressions. These triangles are handles that control the baseline for the expressions (the invisible line against which the bottoms of the letters align). Dragging the leftmost triangle up or down moves the baseline for these expressions vertically, affecting the entire piece. The second triangle sets the baseline for expressions for this staff only. The third triangle, whose effect is only visible in Page View, sets the baseline for this staff in this system only. The rightmost triangle sets the baseline for the next expression you enter. For information regarding baselines in linked parts, see Baseline Positioning in linked parts.
