These steps only apply to up and down arpeggio signs. They do not apply to curved or non arpeggio signs.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

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

Procedure

  1. Select the arpeggio signs of any direction whose ends you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Sign end in the Arpeggios group.
  3. Select the end you want from the menu:
    • Nothing

    • Arrow

    • Swash

Result

The appearance of the ends of the selected arpeggio signs is changed.

You can change the default appearance of the ends of all arpeggio signs project-wide on the Arpeggio Signs page in Engraving Options.
