Rolled chords

The rolled-chord marking (a vertical wavy line) is unique, letting you drag the wavy line to make it as long or as short as you want it to be.

To create the rolled chord marking

1. Click the Articulation tool  .
2. Click the top note of the chord. The Articulation Selection dialog box appears.
3. Double-click the symbol. The marking appears in the score.

To adjust, move, or delete the rolled chord marking

1. Click the Articulation tool  .
2. If the marking’s handle isn’t visible, click the chord to which it was attached.
3. Drag the top handle horizontally to move the entire marking. Drag the bottom handle up or down to shorten or lengthen the marking. For best results, don’t adjust the bottom handle horizontally, or you’ll move the composite “links” of the marking out of alignment.
4. Click either handle and press delete to remove the marking.
