Chapter 16 Score Editor 507

Change of Length

All these symbols can be as long as you like, and can therefore be displayed across line

and page breaks in several parts.

• If, for example, you want to extend a slur to a position which is not visible in the

Score window any more (in Linear view), you can grab it by its right end, and pull the

cursor to the right border of the Score window: the score will scroll automatically. As

soon as the desired end position for the slur appears in the window, move the

mouse a little bit to the left to stop the scrolling. Now position the end of the slur. It

is important that you do not release the mouse button during the entire process.

• In Page Edit view, you can simply drag the right end to its destination in one of the

lower staves. The slur will be displayed in several sections. The same principle applies

to the other symbols in this group.

• The length of these objects can also be changed in the Event List or Event Float, by

changing the numerical length parameter. The end point is moved horizontally by

this procedure. Slanted objects like arrows will be displayed at a correspondingly

varied angle.

• The length can exceed the end of the MIDI Region, i.e. it is possible to drag the right

end of a crescendo with the mouse to a position in the next MIDI Region on the

same track.

Particular Attributes of Certain Symbols

Crescendo: the tip determines the general position. At the upper right end, length and

opening angle can be adjusted. At the lower right, length and overall angle can be

altered.

Decrescendo: at the upper left end you can alter the bar position, and opening angle.

At the lower left end, bar position and overall angle can be set. At the tip (right end),

vertical position and length are adjusted.

Lines and arrows can be moved in their entirety by dragging their starting point. At the

other end, length and overall angle can be altered. The slanted line symbol stands for a

line that can be altered freely. The other two line objects (vertical and horizontal) can

only be extended in the corresponding direction.

Slurs: slurs have five editing points (the black square “handles” are visible when the

object is selected) to change their shape. The last two slur symbols in the slur group are

mainly intended for slurs across staves (that is in piano parts).

Reminder: these are Slurs, not Ties (see “Ties” on page 498). Ties cannot be inserted

manually, but are displayed automatically if a MIDI note’s length requires it.

These symbols are graphic only, and have no impact on MIDI playback.
