.
- Click the measure you want to edit. A
handle appears on each dotted note.
- Click on the handle of the dot you want to
move and drag it to its new position. Or,
- 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).
-
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.
