10.3.4 Tweaking Arpeggios<br />

Arpeggios can also be tweaked. When first applied (by making an entry selection<br />

and pressing B-Shift-A for Macintosh or Alt-Shift-A for Windows) an arpeggio<br />

will be attached to the notes of the entry selection (it will also play back correctly).<br />

When the arpeggio marking is clicked, small arrow-like triangles appear<br />

at the top and the bottom of the marking. If dragged, more or fewer notes will be<br />

included in the arpeggio (also cross staff).<br />

10.3.5 Tweaking Page Numbers<br />

Many kinds of objects can be tweaked in groups if they are selected. However,<br />

page numbers do not have to be selected to be tweaked (since it may be a bit<br />

time-consuming to select objects on different pages). Instead, pressing the Command<br />

(A) key for Macintosh or Control for Windows while dragging one page<br />

number textbox tweaks all of the other identical page number textboxes as well<br />

(e.g., all left or right page numbers).<br />

10.3.6 Nudging<br />

Instead of dragging objects, the arrow keys can be used at times, e.g., when moving<br />

notes or rests (this procedure is called “nudging”). As default, if the left or<br />

right arrow keys are used, the entry moves one line space (a “line space” is the<br />

distance between two horizontal lines of a staff) at a time. If the B key for Macintosh<br />

or Alt key for Windows is pressed while using the arrow keys, the entry<br />

moves only a tenth of a space at a time.
