Printing
The Staff view provides printing support of standard musical notation in nine
staff sizes. The Staff view prints general project information from the File
Info dialog box (see Labeling Your Projects) at the beginning of the score,
including the song's title (or file name), subtitle (dedication), playing
instructions, author/composer, and copyright. In addition, SONAR identifies
the tracks by number and name, and numbers each measure and each
page.
SONAR lets you select a size for your printed score. Engravers have nine
standardized sizes of the five-line staff. The vertical distance between the
lines of each staff is called its rastral size, or measurement. Each rastral
size has a number and is used by publishers for a specific genre of musical
composition.
