Changing the length of grace note slashes

You can change the length of slashes on grace note stems individually, independently of your project-wide setting.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the grace notes whose slash length you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate the following properties, individually or together, in the Grace Notes group.

    • Slash length

    • Slash protrusion from beam (beamed grace notes only)

    Note

    Grace note slashes seem to disappear when you activate Slash length. This is because activating the property resets the value to 0.

  3. Change the values in the value fields in any of the following ways:

    • Enter values into the value fields.

    • Click the arrows beside the value fields.

Result

Increasing Slash length lengthens grace note slashes on both single grace notes and grace note beams, decreasing the value shortens grace note slashes.

Increasing Slash protrusion from beam increases how far slashes extend beyond grace note beams, decreasing the value decreases how far slashes extend beyond grace note beams.

Tip

You can change the default appearance of all grace note slashes project-wide in the Grace Notes section of the Notes page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
