Resizing a Staff’s Meter
The new Size parameter in the Clefs & Signatures tab of the Score project settings
allows you to alter the appearance of the meter (often much larger, for conducting
purposes) on the staff. It is expressed as regular and percentage values. Single systems
show both numbers (4/4, for example) on the system. Double systems show the upper
number on the upper system, and lower number on the lower system.
Fixing the Score Quantize Value
You can now use the Functions > Quantization > Fix Displayed Note Positions and Fix
Displayed Note Positions and Durations commands to “freeze” the display quantization
of all MIDI events in the project. These commands may be useful for exporting projects
(complete with display quantize settings) to other notation programs that don’t feature
display quantization.
Page Break and Line Break Symbols
The Part box includes the new break symbols group, offering: Line Break, Page Break,
No Line Break, and No Page Break events. Once inserted, they can not be moved
automatically (when you alter the Layout project settings, resize the window, and so on).
You can, however, overrule the positioning of Line Break, Page Break, No Line Break,
and No Page Break events with the Layout tool.
Line breaks and individual staff margins can be determined for each score set, and also
for each of the extracted parts.
Importing Text Styles
You can now use the Import Settings function to import score text styles. Simply
choose File > Project Settings > Import Settings and click the Text Styles checkbox at
the bottom of the Import Settings window.
Slur and Tie Thickness
The Slur and Tie Thickness parameters (File > Project Settings > Score > Layout tab) are
now affected by the Scale parameter in score sets, and the Size parameter in staff styles.
Improved Tuplets Window
The Tuplet window now contains the Allow Half Values checkbox. If this option is
activated, N-tuplets can contain note values that are half the length of the regular
tuplet value.
