You can erase the background of individual percussion legends; for example, to ensure they remain legible when crossing barlines. 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 is selected in the Engrave toolbox.
-
You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.
Procedure
- In Engrave mode, select the percussion legends whose backgrounds you want to erase.
- In the Properties panel, activate Erase background in the Percussion Legends group.
Result
The backgrounds of the selected percussion legends are erased. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
Deactivating Erase background returns the selected percussion legends to the default non-erased background.
After Completing This Task
You can change the padding between percussion legends and each edge of their erased areas.
