Smart shapes that are usually measure-attached include hairpins, ottavas, trill extensions, lines and brackets. Any change to the vertical positioning or contour of a measure-attached smart shape in a part breaks its positioning link. Horizontal stretching in a part does not break its link to the score.

The following properties of measure-attached smart shapes are shared between the score and parts:

Horizontal Positioning (and stretching)
Make Horizontal Over System Break setting
Maintain Angle Over System Break setting

The following table lists properties of trills, trill extensions, and ottavas that are broken if changed in a part:
