CHAPTER 8<br />

The Palettes<br />

142<br />

By dragging these boxes up or down, the objects move accordingly:<br />

If the word System itself is clicked, it becomes selected and can be moved both<br />

horizontally and vertically (you will also see four handles around the blue section).<br />

If one of the right handle is clicked, the system can be narrowed or widened,<br />

as shown below. Note that the bar number box has disappeared, since there<br />

is no longer any bar number in the selected system (in the example, every fifth<br />

bar is numbered). If the left handles is clicked, one can indent a passage of music.<br />

There are also boxes on top and below the music. The top handle allows you to<br />

drag the entire system up or down. The bottom handle will spread out or compress<br />

staves evenly when dragged. You will notice a line appears if the system has<br />

been tweaked. This shows you how much space has been added compared to the<br />

standard amount from the Layout settings.<br />

Naturally, if several systems are selected (by Shift-clicking or click-dragging) the<br />

changes will affect all of them. Selected systems can also be scaled if Scale… is<br />

chosen from the Layouts menu. Note that double-clicking in a field selects all<br />

fields of the same type in the entire piece. For instance, all staves in all systems<br />

can be selected by double-clicking the Staff-field in front of any staff, and they<br />

can then be dragged simultaneously.
