Sizing Tool

With the Sizing tool, you can change the size of any note, and of most symbols.

If you want to reset the object to its original size, double-click on it with the Sizing tool.
A dialog will appear asking if you want to reset the size of the object.

Changes in the Event Parameter Box

In the Event Parameter box, you can edit the following parameters:

Notes

MIDI channel, pitch, velocity, and note length.

Note: To change pitch, length, and MIDI channel of selected notes, there are also some
key commands:

1: lengthens/shortens the note by the current

global display format value

Symbols

Staff:
Staff number: this parameter is only important when you are using a polyphonic Score
Style with multiple staves (i.e. for Piano). It determines which staff a symbol belongs to.
Note: if this value is higher than the number of staves in the Score Style, the symbol
disappears!

Symbol
The internal number of a symbol in its Part box Group: once you know these numbers,
you can edit the symbol by changing this number, instead of deleting a symbol and
inserting a new one. This is especially useful for dynamic symbols: 0 = ppp, 1 = pp, 2 =
p, 3 = mp, 4 = mf, 5 = f, 6 = ff, 7 = fff and so on

Vert.pos/hor.pos

vert.pos determines the height/vertical position. Zero in most cases means a position
exactly on the top line of the staff, positive values are above it, negative values below
it.

hor.pos determines the horizontal graphical offset of the object’s bar position. Zero
here corresponds to the left edge of a note at that particular position.
