Lengthening/Shortening pedal line hooks
You can change the length of hooks shown at the start/end of pedal lines individually, independently of each other and independently of your project-wide settings.
For example, if you have a pedal line with a hook at the start/end, you can make the end hook longer without changing the length of the start hook.
These steps only apply to pedal lines that have a hook as their start sign and/or end sign.
Procedure
-
In Engrave mode, select the top handle at the start/end of the pedal lines whose hooks you want to lengthen/shorten.
Tip
You can show handles on all items, not just selected items, by choosing
. This can make it easier to select individual handles on multiple items. -
Move the handles in any of the following ways:
-
Press Alt/Opt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.
-
Press Alt/Opt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.
TipIf you want to move handles by larger increments, you can press Ctrl/Cmd as well as the standard key command, for example, Ctrl/Cmd-Alt/Opt-Up Arrow.
-
Click and drag them upwards/downwards.
-
Result
The length of the selected pedal line hooks is changed.
-
The following properties in the Pedal Lines group of the Properties panel are activated automatically when you move the corresponding pedal line hook:
-
Start hook length changes the length of hooks at the start of pedal lines.
-
End hook length changes the length of hooks at the end of pedal lines.
You can also use these properties to lengthen/shorten pedal line hooks by changing the values in the value fields.
Deactivating the properties resets the selected pedal lines to their default hook length.

-
You can change the default hook length for all pedal lines project-wide by changing the value for Hook length in the Design section of the Pedal Lines page in . This value applies to hooks at the start/end of pedal lines.
