Changing Object Properties Using Palettes

The following general instructions apply to most types of objects.

In order to edit a music object, or multiple objects, you must first select it, as described in the previous topic.

Once you have selected the one or more objects, Composer will display a palette that offers options for editing that type of object. The palette indicates properties of the currently selected objects by showing one or more buttons in the down position.
