Automatically Reshape Slurs when Default Slur Settings are Changed
IWBNI for a given slur that has not been reshaped manually, when any
of the following operations is performed, the slur were automatically reshaped
to conform to settings on the Slur Contour dialog box:
-
Change settings on the Slur Contour dialog box.
-
Change settings on the Smart Shape Placement dialog box.
-
Change settings in the Slur System Breaks section of the Smart
Shape Options dialog box.
Note: The settings on the Smart Shape Placement and Smart Shape
Options dialog boxes can affect the length of slurs, and the shape
of a slur is a function of its length.
As it is now, slurs are not automatically reshaped as a result of these
operations.
Slurs that have been reshaped manually should not be reshaped automatically
as a result of these operations. A given slur is said to be "reshaped manually"
if any of the following operations has been performed on the control points
that are within the bounding rectangle of the slur:
-
The height of the slur has been modified by dragging the outer, middle
control point.
-
The inset of the slur has been modified by pressing Ctrl while dragging
the left or right control point.
-
The slur has been made asymmetrical by pressing Ctrl while dragging the
outer, middle control point.
