I was wondering if there was any formulas that could be used in the inspector text fields for symbols?
To clarify, say I have a bunch of symbols selected and I want to add to the lengths of the selected notes, I could type in "+10" to add 10 to the lengts or "/2" to cut all note lengths in half instead of typing a fixed number.
I often need to do things like adding a bit to the symbol lenghts to force overlaps because some of my string libraries does bowing only when there's overlapping notes. (8DIO Adagio Violins for example)

I don't think that it works this way at the parameter inspector. But adding a bit to the symbol length can be done of course by dragging the right end of a selected group of symbols or of a entire figure segment with the mouse. If you do it with a selected figure segment (using the segment tool as I did at the attached Gif) you will need to hold down the Alt-key while dragging with the mouse. Otherwise the figure segement will be stretched (i.e. the symbol positions will change) when you drag the right end of the segment.
