Correct me if I am wrong, but the 2 ways to move Horizontal Spacing in Engrave mode using Alt-arrow and CTRL+Alt+arrow?
Is there any way to do this with the mouse?
If you want to change the Note Spacing, go to Layout Options->Note Spacing.
You can apply local Note Spacing changes in Engrave mode at any place of your layout.
If you are in Write Mode, you can only move notes, dynamics, text, basically anything with Alt-arrow. But you will change the rhythmical point where the item is attached to.
If you are in Engrave Mode you can theoretically drag things around, but better not do so, let Dorico do the work for you. We are not dealing with Finale here…
It’s true that you should generally let the software do things automatically, but for some situations, manual note spacing is absolutely unavoidable. In my hymnal work, every single voice column has some slight alteration.
If you are talking about note spacing (the original post isn’t clear), then no, you can’t do that with the mouse, only with modifier using Alt/Opt.
Sorry - I was talking about Staff spacing - ending up with 2 bars at the bottom left aligned and trying to resize the staff to take up more of the page and would love to be able to use the mouse . . .
This is after I had used ALT-CTRL-Arrow - would love to have this function able to use with the mouse.
Are there any justification settings for things like this - 1 bar in a system left aligned vs. centered across the selection?
Thanks
Does this have anything to do with what you mean?
That is it - Thanks Daniel. I was looking for that and couldn’t find it.
