List of what can be adjusted in engrave mode in Elements?

Dorico

Hi, I’m experimenting with Dorico for iPad and also SE and am considering changing from MuseScore to Dorico Elements 5. I understand that engrave mode is limited in the Elements version. Is there a list available anywhere describing what can and can’t be adjusted in engrave mode in Elements 5? I haven’t been able to find a comprehensive list in the manual though I have seen the section describing engrave mode with descriptions of how to move various items.

In particular, I have a question about the attached classical guitar example I’ve done in Dorico SE where I have quaver rests in the middle voice colliding with notes. I need to shift either the indicated rests or notes slightly left or right. Can this be done in Elements? As far as I can see in the manual the notes can be moved but not the rests. Also I’d like to shift the indicated horizontal lines vertically. (For aesthetic reasons.)

Hi Rick, and welcome to the forum.
I just checked on my iPad, yes in Engrave Mode you can - via the property panel - define the Voice column for individual notes.
That means you can “shift” them in relation to notes in a different voice.
There is also a setting for accidental columns.
