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:

2.	Click the Convert Ornament to Written-Out Performance button.
