An ornament symbol is a short-hand way of writing out a performance of several short notes, such as illustrated for all of types of ornaments supported by Musician in the chart of ornament types.
You can convert a written-out (as-performed) ornament to a displayed ornament, as described in Converting Written-Out Performances to Ornaments. You can also do the reverse, that is, convert a displayed ornament to a written-out ornament, as described in this topic.

 button in the Ornament Palette, as described in Viewing and the Written-Out Performance of Ornaments.
 To convert one or more displayed ornaments to written-out performances:
| 1. | Select the ornament. |
