Working with Staff Presets

You will spend some time making Staff Settings for your scores. Staff Presets allow you to reuse those settings whenever you work with a staff similar to one you have worked on before.

P A Staff Preset contains all the settings in the Staff Settings dialog except the Key Signature.
Creating a Staff Preset
1. Set up the Staff Settings as you want them.

 

This includes the Staff Options dialog, see below.

 

2. If you want a new item, select the last item on the Presets menu.

 

This item is always called “empty”.

3. If you instead want to overwrite an existing Preset, hold down [Alt] and select any other memory location from the Presets menu.
4. If you wish to change the name of the Preset, double click on it.

 

The name is entered as usual.

 

5. Click the Store button.
