Is it possible to make all hairpins horizontal in a score?

Is it possible to revert all hairpins to horizontal in a score after they have all been altered (moved diagonally)?

I know I can do them one at a time, choosing 'make horizontal'. But can I do all hairpins in a score at once?

Thanks in advance!

Just select them all (Ctrl-A in Windows) and use Make Horizontal, or use te JW Change Plug-in for the same procedure.

Thanks for your response Michael.

I'm working with a 100 page full orchestral score, with hundreds of hairpins. How can I select just the hairpins? If I choose select all, make horizontal, then it makes all my smart shapes horizontal (e.g. lines, glissandi, arrows, etc.)

I don't have the JW Change Plug-in. Would it allow me to only select all the hairpins?

Thanks!

JW Change > Hairpins > Make Horizontal

Works fine!

Exactly! With the JW Change Plug-in you can choose specific items to change. You can get it here:
