You can move individual multi-bar rest H-bars horizontally, independently of your project-wide settings. This allows you to control the exact positions of multi-bar rests; for example, when there are clef changes at the end of multi-bar rests.

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 multi-bar rests you want to move.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate H-bar X offset in the Multi-bar Rests group.
  3. Change the value in the value field.

Result

The selected H-bars are moved horizontally. Increasing the value moves H-bars to the right, decreasing the value moves H-bars to the left.

Tip

You can change the default width and position of all H-bars project-wide, including changing whether items at the start/end of multi-bar rests affect their horizontal position, in Engraving Options > Rests > Multi-bar Rests.
