I need to indicate “Let ring” followed by a dashed line.
For that I use the sustain pedal line but it’s a little tedious to customize.
Would it not be possible in a future update to use the octave line by replacing the sign 8va by a free text to be defined by user? Or to be able to add this kind of line to the playing techniques?
The team have already said that they’re working on these sorts of lines for the future, and I’m sure that when they appear they’ll be easy to customize etc. etc.
At the moment the workarounds are tedious, but hey, they’re workarounds! Bear in mind that once you’ve done one, using a sustain pedal line, you can copy and paste it elsewhere. Also, you should now be able to select it and go Edit > Propagate Properties and it’ll then appear the same way in all other layouts.
