Tip: Constrain dragging in Engrave mode to one direction

  1. In Engrave mode, you can drag music items with the mouse to reposition them.
  2. Hold down Shift while you drag to constrain the item’s movement in the direction you are dragging.

    I would like to know if it is possible to contribute with Spanish translation in your YouTube video tutorials.
    I see that it is necessary that the subtitle parameters be in CC.

    Best regards,

    If I shift drag something, I drag the screen around, not the object. I have been going through the preferences but couldn’t find anything that I thought would alter this behaviour.

      @Janco: Try using the H shortcut to swap between the hand and marquee tools.
