What it does

Using these options, you can adjust the curvature, thickness, and overall shape of the curly piano braces used in your document.

[Display and handles]. Finale creates a piano brace by drawing two sets of curves, then filling the space in between with black to produce a smoothly tapered brace. By tugging on handles that control the curves, you can make different sections of the brace thicker or thinner.

H: • V:. These values for each of the items listed below describes the horizontal and vertical placement of the corresponding handle (as shown in the diagram above). To move a handle to the right, enter a positive number in the H: text box. To move a handle down, enter a negative number in the V: text box, and so on.
Outer Tip • Inner Tip. These handles (and their corresponding H: and V: coordinates) control the thickness of the brace near the outer tips.
Outer Body • Inner Body. These handles (and their corresponding H: and V: coordinates) control the thickness of the brace near the center—the main curve.
Width of Brace. This variable controls the overall width of the brace, from its leftmost point (the center point) to the rightmost (the points of the tips).
Center Thickness. Enter a value in measurement units for the thickness of the center point of the piano brace. Increase the value to make the center point thicker, decrease the value to make the center point thinner.
Tip Thickness. Enter a value in measurement units for the thickness of the tips of the piano brace. Increase the value to make the tips blunter; decrease the value to make the tips thinner.
Default Distance from Left Edge of Staff. Here, you can specify the space between group brackets and the left edge of the staff.
Reset. Reset restores the piano brace to its original default settings.
