These steps only apply to sustain pedal lines.

Prerequisite

If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure
  1. Select the sustain pedal lines on the same staff that you want to merge together. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
    Note

    You can only merge pedal lines on one staff at a time.

  2. Choose Editand thenNotationsand thenPedal Linesand thenMerge Pedal Lines. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

The selected pedal lines are merged together into a single pedal line.

For sustain pedal lines with line continuation types, retakes are added at the start position of each merged pedal line.
