Change Staves in Score Setup
1. To open Score Setup either:
> Click the button in the toolbar, or
> Go to the Menu bar and select Score > Setup, or
> Use the keyboard shortcut of Windows = Ctrl + T; Mac:  + T.
The score area darkens, palettes appear on the right, and staves display buttons to the left of
measure one.
2. Go to the sta you want to alter and click the button.
» The Sta Settings dialog box opens.
3. Click the Notation/Tab Tab.
◙ Notation/Tab Tab.
4. Select the sta(s) you want to see for this instrument. For exibility, you can select any sta type for any instrument,
but some choices (such as a single-line percussion sta for a piano part) will be dicult.
> Show Standard Notation – Displays a notation sta and no Tablature sta.
> Show Tablature – Displays a Tablature sta alone.
> Show Both – Displays both a Tablature sta and a notation sta.
> Grand sta (piano) – Displays a grand clef sta for notation, with no Tablature sta.
> Drum set – Displays a ve-line sta for a drum set and no Tab sta.
> Percussion (single-line) – Displays a single-line sta for percussion and no Tab sta.
5. If you are writing for performers to read your score, then you usually leave the three properties under Notated C
sounds the way the software sets them. With the rst drop-down list, Notion shows what you see on a score for
Concert C with transposing instruments. A piano, for example, is a C instrument, but a trumpet is a Bb instrument.
This can be changed, if needed. Other instruments, such as a piccolo or guitar, don’t require transposed keys, but
play at a dierent octave. The middle drop-down list selects sounds at the same octave, one octave, or two
octaves from written notes – at the same (–), Higher, or Lower direction as set in the third drop-down list.
6. Then press OK.
» You return to Score Setup.
7. If needed, change other staves (start at Step 2). Otherwise, close Score Setup by pressing the
Esc key, or clicking the button in the toolbar, or pressing the keyboard shortcut of [Windows: Ctrl + T;
Mac:  + T] again.
