Reverting Ornaments to Written-Out Notes
An ornament symbol is a short-hand way of writing out a performance of several short notes, such as illustrated for all of types of ornaments supported by Composer in the chart of ornament types.
You can convert a written-out (as-performed) ornament to a displayed ornament, as described in Converting Written-Out Performances to Ornaments. You can also do the reverse, that is, convert a displayed ornament to a written-out ornament, as described in this topic.
If you want to just temporarily view the written-out performance of an ornament, then turn off the View
Ornaments and Grace Notes
button in the Ornament Palette, as described in Viewing
and the Written-Out Performance of Ornaments.
To convert one or more displayed ornaments to written-out performances:
1. In Select Mode, select the ornament.
2.
Click the Convert Ornament to Written-Out Performance
button.
-- OR --
Hit the BACKSPACE key.
