Make sure that the bar position really is identical to the graphic display position when
inserting symbols. As an example: If you work with small Spacing parameters (in Layout
> Global Format), a “Forte” symbol placed under a note on one may be interpreted as
being on two, with a negative hor. pos value because you placed it a little bit too far to
the right. This won’t make any difference as long as you stay on that particular display
level.
If you switch to a different display level (to extract the parts of single instruments), this
can result in an undesired display, as these graphic position values represent an
absolute distance (defined by the vertical staff size). If you later change the Score Style,
the line breaks or some other layout parameter, a different number of bars may be
displayed in one line. Given that the horizontal offset (hor.pos) is calculated as an
absolute distance from the new (relative) graphic display of the bar position, the Forte
symbol may then be displayed at a position closer to the second beat than to the first.
The following key commands move any score symbol that can be positioned
independently of notes or staves. They also apply to text events and chord symbols:
• Nudge Position Up
• Nudge Position Down
• Nudge Position Left
• Nudge Position Right
These functions alter the hor.pos. and vert.pos. parameters by ±1, rather than the bar
position of the affected symbols and text events.
Hyper Draw in the Score Edit Window
If you activate View > Hyper Draw, you can insert and edit MIDI events which aren’t
normally displayed in the Score window (volume, pitchbend, and so on). The type and
channel of the MIDI data displayed in the Hyper Draw area can be selected and
changed from the View menu.
Hyper Draw (see “Hyper Draw” on page 233) in the Score window operates in the same
way as in the Arrange window.
