You can input horizontal lines between existing notes or spanning a specified duration using the Lines panel. Horizontal lines can be attached to noteheads, barlines, or rhythmic positions, and can have different attachment types at their start and end.
You can also input barline-/rhythmic position-attached lines that apply to all staves.
-
You cannot change the attachment type of horizontal lines after they have been input.
-
If you want to input notehead-attached horizontal lines to represent glissandi, you can instead input glissando lines directly.
-
These steps describe inputting with the default mouse input preference Create item at selection.
Prerequisite
You have created any custom horizontal lines you want to input.
Procedure
Result
A horizontal line with the specified attachments is input. They are positioned according to their attachment types and their rhythmic positions.
Barline-/Rhythmic position-attached lines span the duration of either only notes or any items on each selected staff, according to your item input position setting.
Horizontal lines that apply to all staves are categorized as system objects. Therefore, they follow your per-layout settings for the visibility and positioning of system objects.
After Completing This Task
-
You can change the placement and staff position of barline-/rhythmic position-attached lines.
-
You can add text to lines.
