You can change the rhythmic range of sounding instrument percussion legends to include more/fewer instruments in the legend, as they only show the instruments playing at the rhythmic positions included in the range.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the sounding instrument percussion legend whose range you want to change.
  2. Change the range in any of the following ways, according to the current rhythmic grid resolution:
    • To move the whole range to the right, press Alt/Opt-Right Arrow.

    • To move the whole range to the left, press Alt/Opt-Left Arrow.

    • To lengthen the range, press Shift-Alt/Opt-Right Arrow.

    • To shorten the range, press Shift-Alt/Opt-Left Arrow.

      Note

      Key commands lengthen/shorten items by moving their end only.

    • Click and drag the circular handle at the start/end to the right/left.

Result

The rhythmic range covered by the selected sounding instrument percussion legend is changed according to the current rhythmic grid resolution.
