You can show individual pedal line continuation signs with/without parentheses, independently of your project-wide setting. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Pedal line continuation signs are shown by default at the start of new systems when pedal lines continue across system/frame breaks.

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.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the pedal lines whose continuation sign appearance you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Show continuation sign in parentheses in the Pedal Lines group.
  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

Continuation signs are shown with parentheses when the checkbox is activated, and without parentheses when the checkbox is deactivated. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

When the property is deactivated, pedal lines follow your project-wide setting.

Tip

You can change the default appearance of all pedal line continuation signs project-wide in the Design section of the Pedal Lines page in Engraving Options.
