Lengthening/Shortening trills rhythmically
You can lengthen/shorten trills after they have been input. Trills can overlap with other trills and ornaments, so you can also lengthen/shorten trills to noteheads that already have ornaments.
Procedure
-
In Write mode, select the trills you want to lengthen/shorten.
Note
When using the mouse, you can only lengthen/shorten one trill at a time.
-
Lengthen/Shorten the trills in any of the following ways:
-
To lengthen them by the current rhythmic grid resolution, press Shift-Alt/Opt-Right Arrow.
-
To shorten them by the current rhythmic grid resolution, press Shift-Alt/Opt-Left Arrow.
-
To lengthen a single trill to the next notehead, press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-Alt/Opt-Right Arrow.
-
To shorten a single trill to the previous notehead, press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-Alt/Opt-Left Arrow.
Note-
You can only lengthen/shorten trills by the current rhythmic grid resolution when multiple trills are selected.
-
Key commands lengthen/shorten items by moving their end only.
-
-
Click and drag the circular handle at the start/end of the trill to noteheads to the right/left.

Single trills are lengthened/shortened according to the current rhythmic grid resolution or to the next/previous notehead, whichever is closer.
