Adding punctual elements

Since LiveSet version 3.0, it is possible to add elements to specific parts of an existing score (for example, a melodic line, a rhythm pattern, or alternative chords) without having to create a layer across the entire score (see score structure).

The principle is simple: just drag and drop elements from the toolbox to the desired location in the score currently being edited.

Depending on the size of your screen, LiveSet displays the elements directly in the toolbar:

On smaller screens, however, the toolbox button lets you display them temporarily:

The following elements are available:

	A free-text block, which can only be inserted between two complete lines (not specifically for a particular bar). For text associated with a specific bar, use the Text element. If you simply click the element without dragging it to a specific location, the text block is added at the end of the current score.
	A lyrics block, displayed in one or two columns, with support for formatting (bold, italic, colors, etc.). See Lyrics editing for more information. This block can also only be inserted between complete lines. If you simply click the element without dragging it to a specific location, the text block is added at the end of the current score.
	A block containing references to named sections of the score (for example, two times V for verse, followed by one C for chorus), which can be displayed horizontally or vertically. See this page for more details. If you simply click the element without dragging it to a specific location, the block is added at the end of the current score.
	The Fill button is slightly different: it applies only to rhythm layers and lets you fill the staff with a sequence of quarter notes (up to the next existing symbol).
	A mini chord layer attached to a specific bar. This type of element is generally used to add alternative chord options to an existing bar. You can drag it above, below, or between the existing layers of the score. See Chord editing for more information.
	A mini rhythm layer attached to a specific bar. This type of element lets you add a specific rhythm pattern at a particular point (e.g. accents, etc.). You can also drag it above, below, or between the existing layers. See Rhythm editing for more information.
	A mini melody layer attached to a specific bar. The idea is to add a specific melodic pattern at a particular point in the score. You can also drag it above, below, or between the existing layers. See Melody editing for more information.
	Free text attached to a bar, aligned to the left or right. This type of element is also used to represent text attached to barlines: typically, indications specifying the number of repetitions for a repeat, or instructions such as D.S. al Coda/Fine. You can drag it to the left or right of a bar, above, below, or between the existing layers.
	A mini syllable lyrics layer attached to a specific bar. The bar must contain rhythm or melody information in order to use this type of layer. See Syllable lyrics editing for more information.

In the various mini-layer editing keyboards (such as the rhythm, melody, or syllable editors), an additional  button is available, allowing you to remove the entire mini-layer from the current bar.

Resizing elements

To resize elements added as mini-layers, use the Move mode button in the toolbar. Handles will then appear, allowing you to resize the elements vertically or move them:
