They control the width of bars, but once this manual mode is set, automatic calculation will be impossible to compute, unless automatic bar size calculation is enabled, which removes the manual bar sizes values.

There are fewer variations of such handles, these being: The same mechanism of mouse dragging is used, although the only available option is Shift+click, which causes the current change to alter all bars. They also take the form of a triangle facing down, and are placed right below bar headers.

Bar handles, which are, similarly to staff handles, used to maneuver the appearance of bars.

Bar headers, used to display the bar number, and to access the bar menu.

Tablature handles, which are red arrows with a T, and are manipulated just like bar numbers, lyrics and chords.

Chords handles, which are represented as red arrows with a C, have identical functionality and manage chords.

Similarly to bar number handles, they control the lyrics lines (if there are multiple such lines, the handle will mark the top of the first line).

Bar number handles, displayed as red arrows with an N, which control the displacement of bar numbers, if these are displayed.

Staff location handles, drawn as simple red arrows, used to change the vertical location of the staff itself, within the limits established by the staff area.

Staff area handles can be also grabbed from the small red and blue area between two staff menus. No other handles can exceed the boundaries defined by the staff area. Using these handles, one can adjust how much space is reserved to a staff, and hence the distance between staves. They control the staff area, (the area which can be used to input symbols and other objects on the staff).

Staff area handles, represented as blue arrows, which appear above the first staff on the page, as well as under every staff.

There are several types of such handles, including: Holding the Shift key will affect all staves in the score, while holding the Shift key and dragging with right-click will result in altering all the staves belonging to the current group. Dragging the handles while holding the Ctrl key or with right-click instead of left-click will only affect the current handle only. This will result in altering all the similar handles used to control the same staff, in whatever group it is displayed. They are moved by clicking and dragging them up or down with the mouse.

These handles take the shape of a triangle facing rightwards, displayed immediately after the staff menu.
