By default, player labels appear on a single line. You can insert line breaks in individual player labels to show instrument numbers and the a2 indication spread across two lines. This can reduce the horizontal space required for player labels containing many instrument numbers.

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.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the player labels into which you want to insert a line break.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate/deactivate Line break in the Player Labels group.

Result

The selected player labels are shown on two lines in the current layout when Line break is activated, and on one line when it is deactivated.
