Hi everyone,

When I notate an X (Special Tools -> NOTE SHAPE TOOL -> Symbol Selection #192), any note stacked vertically above the note is slightly covered by the X with an overlapping white bar. I've attached a screenshot of the problem. Any solutions you can offer would help a lot, this is about the only issue standing in the way of me printing and selling my scores at concerts and to students.

Thank you!

Just a guess-

Right click on the notehead handle and choose "Edit". Here you can change the size of the notehead font and the font itself. Try making it 1 point smaller. Or, try changing to a text font X like Hellvetica or Arial, any sans serif font.

Thank you for the suggestion! I didn't see the obvious solution of right clicking and editing The resizing didn't work, but what did was:

1. Right Click and Edit
2. Allow Vertical Positioning
3.Vertical Positioning = -0.01736

This works for X's that are on the bottom line.

Thanks again!
