Hi everyone,
look, i'm using this symbol to represent that a one bar or two bar cell repeats for x number of measures
I did this by hiding the graphic for multi-measure rests and then adding that glissando wiggly line with the smart shape tool
now, i want to make that wiggly line very thick, how could i do that?
I did try to use the shape designer inside the "document options" menu to create the wiggly line, but i simply couldn't find a way to do it. is it possible to import the graphic as a tiff? and if so, where could i get it?
thanks

How's this? I duplicated the gliss line in Smart Line Options, and edited the character font size to 72.

Document options/Multimeasure rests/Shape lets you design your own shape with no need for masking or hand placing. There must be a way to make a wavy line in the Shape Designer, though I don't know what it is offhand.

I created this symbol in the Shape Designer. The Character is Maestro slot 126. I chose 36 for the font size.
