Remove dots from D.S. and save as default
I prefer to show my Dal Segno as "DS" rather than "D.S.". The latter is an antiquated standard IMO -- like the dots in "U.S.A." as opposed to the simple "USA." We're all familiar with acronyms these days and "DS" just looks more modern to me.
So, yes, I know I can edit the D.S. when I enter it, but I want "DS" to be the default. How can I make it so? Is it possible?

HildeK, I don't see a way to do that. When I Ctrl-Drag a modified "DS," it just moves it around on the page -- it doesn't enter the palette.
I also don't see a way to directly modify what appears in the palette. If I Ctrl-click on it, a small pop-up allows me to edit the name, but that has no effect on either what appears in the palette, nor what appears on the page.

Okay, you're right - my memory deceived me. Sorry!
It's Shift+Ctrl+Drag.

Oh yeah! Actually, on a Mac it's Shift+Cmd+Drag. Shft-Ctrl constrains the drag to vertical only. Anyway, thanks!!!
