Text line hook does not invert with line position

• Dec 31, 2022 - 10:53

Currently when a text line is added from the palette, it is placed above the staff. When I try to invert its position and put it under the staff, I expect the hook to invert its direction and point upwards, but it is still pointing downwards.

Am I doing something uncanonical? I failed to find a duplicate on the forum, so do please point me to the post if there is already an answer.

Well, not necessarily. Inputing a negative offset to achieve the effect is intuitive enough for me too. I suspect however that if negative offsets are generally not allowed, introducing it will break some paradigm the software is following I don't understand. Would you confirm that this is a reasonable function? If so, I'll try to write a feature request.

Thanks for confirming this is indeed the case. I never came to this need in 3.x so I didn't quite know if this is the case or the option is temporarily more difficult to find due to recent UI changes. I also find that built-in lines (e.g. the pedal line) indeed use a negative height (-1.6 by default), rather than a separate switch controlling the direction. After changing the value to a positive number by hand, the box prevents manually inputting negative values. I'm still unaware why there is this range clipping to begin with, so I'll investigate a bit further.
