How do I merge layers into Lining?
NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface but the instructions are still accurate.
When generating tramlines using the Lining toolkit, all of your lines are created in a new layer called Lining. Once lines are generated, you're automatically shifted into this layer.
However, if you have notes in other Layers, they can easily be merged into your Lining layer(s).
Touch or click Layers in the Top Toolbar:
Touch or click the 3-dot icon at the upper left of the Layer pane and choose Merge:
Touch or click the radio buttons of the layer(s) you'd like to merge into a Lining layer AND the radio button of the Lining Layer, then OK:
TIP for Mac users: Press and hold the C**ommand** key to select multiple checkboxes.
NOTE: Merging notes into Lining layers can't be undone.
All of your notes have now been merged into Lining! Keep in mind, a new default layer will automatically be created. This default layer is necessary for a variety of Scriptation functions, but you don't need to take any notes in that layer.
TIP: If you have layers that you'd like to merge into multiple Lining Layers (Lining, Lining 2, Lining 3, etc.) first make a copy of your layer by doing Layer Export, then Layer Import, before merging each copy of that layer into a separate Lining layer.
