Bend note style

This command allows creating a customized bend note style.

This style will then be able to be used during creation of a bend note.

Bend note style means the configuration of the note (display of internal radius, bending angle, bend direction, etc.).

Creation stages:

Select Tools > Styles > Bend note style... from the drop-down menu.

Enter a Name for this new bend note style.
Check Current style to allow this bend note style to be proposed by default when creating a new bend note.
Select the base style on which to rely to create the new style (the settings of this basic style will be those proposed by default when creating the new style).

The modification of a bend note style used as the basic style by another style will automatically cause the latter to be modified.
