Anchor for a symbol?

• Sep 9, 2021 - 21:22

Hi,

I have multiple passages in score where I want to notate tremolos with staccato. I found the symbol in the master pallete, however the problem is that symbols have no anchor point and are placed over the note unlike other articulation symbols and have to be manually adjusted to proper position. And because I will be adding a lot of them I would rather avoid that labor...Is there a way to give a symbol an anchor point? Or does anyone have better solution to simple add staccato mark with 3 dots instead of 1?

Thanks for any advice

I don't have a better way to add them, but if this is the only special symbol you'll be adding, you can adjust the offsets for all of them at once by right-clicking one, Select / All Similar Elements, then use the Inspector to make the adjustment. Even if there are other symbols you don't want moved this way, you can still select a whole range of them by clicking one, shift+clicking another.
