Line components

In Dorico Pro, lines consist of multiple components that together function as a single item.

1. Start cap

   Symbol shown at the start of lines. Caps can be arrowheads, hooks, terminal lines, music symbols, or text.

2. Line body

   Horizontal or vertical line, repeating symbols, dash/dot pattern, or wedge that makes up the main part of a line and extends across its entire length or height.

3. Annotation

   Text or music symbol shown in addition to caps. Annotations can appear centered in the middle of each line segment, only at the start or end of lines, or as repeating symbols/hyphenated text spread across the duration of lines. On vertical lines, text reads upwards by default.

4. Continuation end cap

   Symbol shown at the end of segments of lines that continue across multiple systems. Caps can be arrowheads, hooks, terminal lines, music symbols, or text.

5. Continuation cap

   Symbol shown at the start of subsequent segments of lines that continue across multiple systems. Caps can be arrowheads, hooks, terminal lines, music symbols, or text.

6. End cap

   Symbol shown at the end of lines. Caps can be arrowheads, hooks, terminal lines, music symbols, or text.
