You can change existing retakes on sustain pedal lines to pedal level changes and vice versa.

For example, if you do not want the pedal to be released completely between the old and new levels, change the type to Change Level instead of Retake.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the retake or pedal level change whose type you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Retake type in the Pedal Line Retakes group.
  3. Choose the type you want from the following options:
    • Retake

    • Change Level

Result

The type of pedal line retake is changed.

Note

The appearance of the new type of pedal line retake depends on the pedal levels already set on each side. For example, a retake notch is only shown on one side of the retake if the pedal level on the other side is set to 0.
