Local properties are layout- and frame chain-specific, meaning that by default, changing local properties for an item in one layout does not affect the same item in other layouts or other frame chains. You can copy the properties set on notes and items to all other layouts and frame chains in which they appear; for example, to show gradual dynamics with the same style in part layouts after changing their style in the full score layout.
Prerequisite
If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.
Procedure
Result
All properties set on the selected notes/items that are available in the current mode are copied to all layouts and frame chains in which those notes/items appear. For example, if you selected slurs in Write mode, their staff-relative placement and design settings are copied. If you selected them in Engrave mode, their slur end and control point positions are also copied.
If you know in advance that you want your changes to affect all layouts and frame chains, you can change the property scope before changing property settings.
