Guide Lines

• Jan 31, 2023 - 08:30

After just about going cross-eyed fixing up a scores' lyrics - some words had inexplicably moved, mainly down by 3.44sp - I had this desire to have guide lines on my screen to help ease my eye strain.

What I envisage is the ability to place temporary horizontal and/or vertical lines onto a score to assist in finding and correcting positioning issues. Any of such lines to have one or more handles to move them about, e.g. ,move a vertical line horizontally or a horizontal line vertically.

To call them up use some key combination such as Ctrl + _ (underscore) or Ctrl + | (vertical line) to toggle such lines on or off.

I such a feature already exists - Please let me know.

You could add a horizontal line to a score and make it light grey. This would be easily moved and could be made invisible via the inspector, (or by pressing "V").

See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/lines

Alternatively, you could select all lyrics, (right click a lyric > select all similar), and apply a vertical offset in the inspector.
