Hi - How can I show something like “Ped__________________ sim.” or something similar? I only want it to show for first 4 bars. I looked all forum and and found a couple posts but I couldn’t figure it out.
Also I see a lot of replies where someone says “properties panel” what is this panel? I don’t see a properties panel but I see “Engraving Options” “Layout Options” etc… are those properties panels?
Thanks for the help!
Cmd+8. It’s the lower zone.
Is this how I would get it to appear the way I want? I had to insert two pedal sections one starting on bar 1 ending on bar 3. Then another pedal sign but changed it to ped text on bar 4. Basically the pedal marking is same for entire score so I don’t want pedal lines for entire score.
To be honest, I would just enter the “sim.” indication as staff text wherever you want and flip it to under the stave. You could also remove the end hook of the ped. line (in Properties) so that it’s just a solid line until “sim.”.
(This looks like what you’ve already done?)
Yup removed the hook. Updated to use lyric text for “sim” looks a little cleaner now. Thanks!
I’m a bit pedantic and would have an itch if I used lyrics for this haha
How else can you enter text below staff?
Select a note or move the caret to the rhythmic position you want the text > Shift+X > enter the text > press F to flip it below the stave.
