You can add retakes and pedal level changes to existing sustain pedal lines using the Playing Techniques panel.

You cannot add retakes and pedal level changes to sostenuto or una corda pedal lines. Retakes and pedal level changes only appear for sustain pedal lines with the Line continuation type.

Prerequisite

You have input a sustain pedal line.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select an item on each staff and at each rhythmic position where you want to input retakes or pedal level changes.
  2. In the Notations toolbox, click Panels Panels button, then Playing Techniques Playing Techniques button to show the Playing Techniques panel.
  3. In the Playing Techniques panel, expand the Keyboard section.
  4. Click the retake or pedal level change you want.

Result

The retake or pedal level change is input at each selected rhythmic position on each selected staff.

Tip
  • Alternatively, when nothing is selected in the music area, you can click a retake or pedal level change in the Keyboard section of the Playing Techniques panel, and then click at each rhythmic position where you want to input the retake or pedal level change.

  • You can also input retakes and pedal level changes by selecting notes within the ranges of sustain pedal lines and choosing Edit > Notations > Pedal Lines > [Retake or pedal level change]. You can also choose these options from the context menu.
