Hi,

I'm trying to engrave one of Chopin's Etudes. I'm having trouble with some of the small notes. In the image below, I want the 6-tuple to be small notes. I tried selecting just these 6 notes and selecting utilities->change->note size, but all it does is change the size of the number 6 above the notes. Any ideas?

Thanks,
--Ryan

Try the JW Change plug-in. I think the built-in thing only does one note at a time, believe it or not.

Thanks, that basically did the trick. I had to delete the voice 2 first, then change the note sizes, then add the voice 2 back in.

It was not necessary to delete Layer 2, because JW Change has a filter which can select a Layer to which the plug-in is applied.

And you can also opt to hide the active layer which enables you to make edits like this on one layer without affecting the others.
