Strategies: Multiple Staves

As described above, when you have Parts on several Tracks selected in the Arrange Window, these will be put on one staff each, when you open the Score Editor. This allows you to work on several staves in parallel.

Working with several staves is not much different from working with one. Below follow some guidelines that apply specifically to working with Multiple Staves.

 

Staff Settings

• As described above, the settings in the Staff setting dialog are local to each staff. By using the Prev and Next buttons or the [Page Up] and [Page Down] keys you can set up all staves as needed, without closing the dialog box.
• If several staves share settings, you will save some time by using Staff Presets. Set up the Staff settings for the first staff, then make those settings a Preset. This Preset can then be applied to any of the other staves, one at a time. See page 121 for details.

Selecting Notes

 

• You can select notes from one or several staves at the same time, using any method of selection, as described on page 97.

 

Adding Notes

• You can add notes to any staff by just clicking inside it. The active staff rectangle will move to the staff where you input the note.
• If you need to put in a note with a very high or low pitch, which makes it wind up on the wrong staff when you click, first enter a note with the wrong pitch, and then edit its pitch as described on page 108.
