You can hide/show suspension lines between suspension and resolution figures and hold lines after resolution figures, independently of each other and your project-wide settings.

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 figured bass suspensions whose hold/suspension lines you want to hide/show. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate the following properties, individually or together, in the Figured Bass group:
    • Line between susp. and resolution

    • Continue line after resolution

  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkboxes.

Result

Hold lines are shown between suspension and resolution figures and/or after resolutions in the selected figured bass suspensions when the corresponding checkboxes are activated, and hidden when the checkboxes are deactivated.

When the properties are deactivated, hold/suspension lines follow your project-wide settings for hiding/showing hold lines.

Tip

You can hide/show figured bass hold/suspension lines by default in different circumstances project-wide, including changing their default end positions, in Engraving Options > Figured Bass > Design.
