Moving elements by hand

The layout is automatic, and you can fine-tune it:

• Drag an element within its lane and drop it away from any line. It snaps to line up with its neighbours (a blue guide) or back to its automatic place.
• Alt+Shift+arrow keys nudge the selected element a little at a time.
• Right-click > Position > Line up with the step before, or Back to its automatic place.
• Right-click the empty canvas > Reset layout clears every hand move.

Dropping an element on a line or in another lane still moves it there. Undo covers all of it, and exports keep your positions.
