Shape Selection

How to get there

Click the Expression Tool  image\Expression_Tool.gif, and double-click a note or measure. Click Shape. To create a new Shape Expression, click Create (or, to edit an existing Shape Expression, click it and then click Edit). Enter zero in the Select text box, and click Select.

This dialog box also appears when you’re choosing a multimeasure rest; a custom stem shape (Special Tools Tool); or an Executable Shape as part of the playback definition for an expression.

What it does

When you’re editing or creating a new Shape Expression, custom stem, Executable Shape, or multimeasure rest, this selection box lets you choose the shape on which to base it. If the Maestro Font Default file isn’t in place, and you haven’t loaded a Shape Expression Library or created any new shapes yourself, this selection box will contain only the hard-wired multimeasure rest shape.
