You can change the erasure padding of individual percussion legends, including changing the padding between percussion legends and each edge of their erased areas independently. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

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.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the percussion legends whose erasure padding you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate the Erasure padding properties, individually or together, in the Percussion Legends group.
    • L changes the padding between percussion legends and their left edge.

    • R changes the padding between percussion legends and their right edge.

    • T changes the padding between percussion legends and their top edge.

    • B changes the padding between percussion legends and their bottom edge.

  3. Change the values in the value fields.

Result

Increasing the values increases the padding, decreasing the values decreases the padding. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
