- Choose Document > Document Options
>Ties. The Tie options appear.
- Select the variation of tie for which you would
like to adjust the placement settings. There are a number of selections
in the drop-down list. There are separate settings for ties that are inside chords,
and ties that are the outermost ties on chords (noteside and stemside).
Each of these have separate settings for ties over notes and ties under
notes.
Note. When you are
adjusting these settings remember that the notes tied together may not
use the same choice from the drop-down
list. For example,
ties with mixed stems may use different outer placement settings. To have
Outer placement settings take effect, the Use Outer Placement checkbox
must be selected.
- Set the horizontal and vertical starting position
for the selected tie variation. Enter a number (in measurement
units) into the Start H: text box to specify the tie’s starting position
horizontally from the inside edge of the first tied note. A larger number
moves the tie to the right; a smaller number (including negative numbers)
moves it to the left. Enter a number (in measurement units) into the Start
V: text box to specify the tie’s starting position vertically from the
inside edge of the first tied note. Type a larger number to move the tie
up, a smaller number (including negative numbers) to move it down.
- Set the horizontal and vertical ending position
for the selected tie variation. Enter a number (in measurement
units) into the End H: text box to specify the tie’s ending position horizontally
from the inside edge of the second tied note. A larger number moves the
tie to the right; a smaller number (including negative numbers) moves
it to the left. Enter a number (in measurement units) into the End V:
text box to specify the tie’s ending position vertically from the inside
edge of the second tied note. Type a larger number to move the tie up,
a smaller number (including negative numbers) to move it down.
- Enter a number (in measurement units) into
the System Start Adjustment text box to specify the tie’s distance from
the start of the new system. Type a larger number to move the tie
to the right; type a smaller number (including negative numbers) to move
the tie to the left.
- Enter a number (in measurement units) into
the System End Adjustment text box to specify the tie’s distance, measured
backwards from the end of the system. Type a larger number to move
the tie to the right; type a smaller number (including negative numbers)
to move the tie to the left.
- Select additional tie variations from the drop-down list
and change as desired. All tie variations will be updated when
you exit the dialog box by clicking OK.
- Click OK to save all of your changes.
