Moving figured bass figures rhythmically
You can move figured bass figures to new rhythmic positions after they have been input.
Procedure
-
In Write mode, select the figured bass figures you want to move.
Note
When using the mouse, you can only move one figure rhythmically at a time.
-
Move the figures according to the current rhythmic grid resolution in any of the following ways:
-
Press Alt/Opt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.
-
Press Alt/Opt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.
-
Click and drag the figure to the right/left.
-
Result
The selected figures are moved to new rhythmic positions.
Note
Only one figured bass figure can exist at each rhythmic position. If a figure passes over another figure as part of its move, the existing figure is deleted.
You can undo this action, but any figures deleted in the process are only restored if you moved the figure using the keyboard.
