Guitar bends in Engrave mode

In Engrave mode, each guitar bend, pre-bend, release, and hold has multiple handles that you can move independently to adjust their graphical position and shape.

On notation staves, guitar bends, pre-bends, and releases all have three square handles that you can move independently. When you move either of the start/end handles, the middle handle also moves to retain its position relative to the start/end handles.

On tablature, guitar bends and holds have the following handles:

  1. Guitar bend start handle

  2. Guitar bend middle handle

  3. Guitar bend end handle

  4. Guitar bend interval handle

  5. Hold start handle

  6. Hold end handle

On tablature, releases have the following handles:

  1. Release start handle

  2. Release middle handle

  3. Release end handle

On tablature, guitar pre-bends have the following handles:

  1. Guitar pre-bend interval handle

  2. Guitar pre-bend end handle

  3. Guitar pre-bend start handle

You can move these handles to change the shape of guitar bends, pre-bends, and releases, and to change the graphical length and angle of guitar bend holds.

If guitar bends cross system and frame breaks, you can move the guitar bend segment on each side of the break independently.
