Changing the size/shape of frames
You can change the size and shape of individual frames on pages, including on master pages, after they have been inserted.
Procedure
-
In Engrave mode, do one of the following:
-
Open the layout in which you want to change the size or shape of frames in the music area.
-
Open the master page in which you want to change the size or shape of frames in the master page editor.
-
- In the Formatting panel, activate Frames.
-
Select the middle handle on an edge of the frame whose size or shape you want to change.
Note
You can only select a single handle on a single frame at a time.
-
Move the handle in any of the following ways:
-
Press Alt-Right Arrow to move it to the right.
-
Press Alt-Left Arrow to move it to the left.
-
Press Alt-Up Arrow to move it upwards.
-
Press Alt-Down Arrow to move it downwards.
TipIf you want to move handles by larger increments, you can press Ctrl/Cmd as well as the standard key command, for example, Ctrl/Cmd-Alt-Left Arrow.
-
Click and drag the handle to the right/left or upwards/downwards.
NoteYou can only move handles on the right/left edges of frames to the right/left. You can only move handles on the top/bottom edges of frames upwards/downwards. For example, if you want to make a frame wider, you can select the middle handle on the right edge of the frame and move it to the right.
-
- Optional: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other edge of the frame you want to move to achieve the size and shape you want.
