Result
The alignment of the numerals of the selected octave lines is changed. For example, if you choose Accidental, the octave line numerals are aligned with the accidental on the first noteheads to which the octave lines apply. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
You can change the default alignment of all octave line numerals project-wide in the Horizontal Position section of the Octave Lines page in Engraving Options.
