You can change whether individual octave lines affect only harmonic sounding pitches or all notes on the corresponding staff or voice; for example, to reduce the number of ledger lines shown for high partials. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.
- Select the octave lines that you want to apply to harmonic sounding pitches only. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
- In the Properties panel, activate Automatic sounding pitches only in the Harmonics group.
The selected octave lines only apply to harmonic sounding pitches within their range. All other notes within the affected ranges ignore the octave lines and are notated in their normal register.
If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
