Click the measure you want to edit. A
handle appears on each dotted note.
Click on the handle of the dot you want to
move and drag it to its new position. Or,
Double-click the handle of the note whose dot
positions you want to change. A dialog box appears, where you can
enter positioning values for this dot. The units are whatever you’ve specified
using the Measurement Units command (Edit menu).
The Horizontal and Vertical Offsets represent distances you want added
to the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the dot, respectively,
as measured from its default position. A higher Horizontal Offset value
means farther to the right; a higher Vertical Offset value means upward.
(A change of 6 points moves the dot one space [the distance between two
staff lines].) The Inter-dot Spacing sets the distance between the dots
of a note that has more than one dot.
