Creating an accelerando/ritardando
To create an accelerando/ritardando, proceed as follows:
1. Select the notes as described above and select
“Accelerando” from the Group/Ungroup submenu.
A dialog appears.
2. Use the radio buttons to select the desired combina-
tion (i.e. define whether you want an accelerando or a ri-
tardando and specify the desired note values) and click
OK to close the dialog.
Example for accelerando (left) and ritardando (right)
• Double-clicking on the “Grouping” text opens the Group-
ing dialog, allowing you to select another combination.
The Grouping dialog
As described above, the Grouping dialog can also be
opened by double-clicking an existing grouping text in the
score.
• Which Grouping dialog appears depends on the group-
ing option you used for the notes (Beam, Repeats or Acce-
lerando, see above).
Removing groups
If you have created a group as described above and want
to remove it, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the “Grouping” checkbox is activated
in the display filter bar.
2. Select a group by clicking on its “Grouping” text.
3. Press [Backspace] or [Delete].
The grouping is removed.
• If you need to remove all groups from the score, hold
down [Shift] and double-click on the first “Grouping” text.
This selects all “Grouping” symbols, so you can delete them all at once
by pressing [Backspace] or [Delete].
Removing a note from a group
There is no dedicated “ungroup” command, simply be-
cause it is not needed. A group can consist of one note if
you wish. In other words…
• To remove one note at the end of a group, select it and pro-
ceed with grouping as above.
• If you select notes in the middle of a beam and then group,
three groups are created.
