Changing the end appearance of arpeggio signs

Down arpeggio signs have an arrowhead at the bottom of the line by default, but up arpeggio signs have no arrowhead by default. You can change the appearance of the ends of arpeggio signs individually, independently of your project-wide settings.

Procedure

  1. Select the arpeggio signs of any direction whose ends you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
    Note

    You cannot change the ends of non arpeggio signs.

  2. In the Properties panel, activate Sign end in the Arpeggios group.
  3. Select the end you want from the menu:
    • Nothing

    • Arrow

    • Swash

Result

The appearance of the ends of the selected arpeggio signs is changed.

Tip

You can change the default appearance of the ends of all arpeggio signs project-wide on the Arpeggio Signs page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
