I do not have "Gerneral" or a way to adjust velocity in my Properties column

• May 9, 2025 - 04:12

In my Properties panel I have: "Show" and "Score Appearance". That is all - no "General". I want to adjust the velocity of notes in the bass clef and thus need "Playback". However since there is no General there is also no Playback. How do I adjust the velocity or get "General" in the Properties panel? Thanks, Jon

What is selected in the score? You must have a note selected in the score before the Properties panel shows the properties of notes: for example, velocity. From your description, it sounds like you merely have the score visible with nothing selected.

Note velocity is sequestered backstage in Properties>General>Playback (popup). Sadly there's no option to have the Playback popup automatically "open" whenever the General section is disclosed. That would be quite helpful. I find it reliably inconvenient that the popup automatically closes whenever you select anything other than a note or rest.

If the General area is not showing in your configuration you may have a larger issue for which I have no guidance.
