Fine-tuning the horizontal space occupied by music

User Comments

Another way of de-bunching the notes in the last system is to add a section-close barline as the last object at the end of the top staff, and setting it to force a system break.

Spacing between the notes of individuals can be changed by using the zones of dialogue of properties of note. But end-to grant the quantity of horizontal space occupied by the music, here another manner:

Everywhere where you wish to stretch the notation, to go to the more senior employees and to insert some spaces of text, by using "the preserve width" once that this is installed, you can on several occasions stick spaces while clicking to the place to space, type "X" to bring to the top the text editor, then "enter"

When you install your page "to prolong the last system," sometimes the notes gather to the top with the left. With additional spacing, they can be increased to fill system more agreeably.

(Translation E->F->E by BabelFish@Altavista, worst being E->F...)

More seriously, if some day you want to find where you placed such white spaces text items, two ways exist:
1. (old way) Start on the beginning of the section you want, then use the following keystrokes: Shift+Right; visual check if a visible item is selected, if not, it's a white space text item that you can delete or edit; Right to deselect it, and continue the same way.
2. (new way, much quicker) Use the Search tool! Either you create a text item as the one you want to find, Cut it, then open the Find... Tool and Paste in it; or you use the following search expression in the Find Tool:
|Text|Text: *
(don't forget the star, or at least the space before it)
P.S. reminder: Find Tool: Ctrl+F. Find Next (when the tool is closed): F3.

Robert, feel free to remove those two comments of mine :-)
