I think you misunderstand: There is no reason to have a setting where the slur on the stem side starts near the top of the stem. With my settings the slur starts near the notehead. And has the right slope. So the best thing is actually to change the defaults, rather than move every slur. With Engra

George, Creating a reduced size cautionary clef is easy: - use the Clef tool. - double click in the measure where you need the clef. - choose "create a movable mid-measure clef". - choose "show clef always". - enter your chosen percentage size for the clef. For the time signatures, there are diff

Sorry...I misunderstood your question. You could do it graphically, using the Expression tool to create a shape expression for a larger sharp with parentheses (and same for flat), then program a metatool for each of the two. That would make for comparatively fast entry. They each would have to be e

If you have one note stem-up and the next note stem-down (second space stem up to middle line stem down), the slur goes from the stem (almost at the top) to the note head. So the slur has an overall down appearance, while the pitch is going up. If you flip the slur, it goes from notehead to n

I would like to differentiate the bass line from melody on a guitar score written with a TAB line below it. I've seen it in several books where the bass numbers are notated in bold to set themselves apart from the rest of the TAB fingering. This is very helpful in pieces such as Leo Kottke or Chet
