Cascading overlapping markers
If markers occur close to one another, given the
spacing of your score, you can use the Cascade
overlapping markers option to force QuickScribe to
cascade them vertically rather than overlap their
names:
Figure 43-11: Cascading overlapping markers in Film Cues View.
Hiding markers in a dense score
If you are using the _ measures per line measure
spacing option, and measure spacing gets very
dense, you can hide markers altogether with the
Hide markers when showing _ or more bars per line
option. When this option is enabled, and markers
are being hidden, markers weighted Ve r y Im por t ant
remain visible and are displayed as dots.
Setting marker font, size, and style
To set the font, style, size, etc. of all markers, click
any marker name and choose the desired text
settings from the Text menu. The settings you
choose will affect all markers.
MEASURE NUMBERS
The Measure numbers sub-menu command
(Figure 43-3) sets the frequency and position of
measure numbers in the score.
Measure number text formatting
Click any measure number displayed in the
QuickScribe window to select all measure numbers
and change their font, size and style using the Text
menu. Changes apply to all measure numbers in
the document. Changes are saved in the
preferences for the current view (QuickScribe,
QuickScribe + Film Cues, or Film Cues Only), so
the setting can be made independently by view.
If you want a certain font, size or style to be the
default for measure numbers, first make a file that
has measure numbers the way you like them. Then
save it as a file template (File menu> Save As
Temp l a te ) and check the Use as default New
template option.
☛ The measure numbers displayed just below
the Show Film Cues staff (Figure 43-42 on
page 496) cannot be formatted in this manner.
They are displayed in a fixed font, size and style.
