Change Sta Settings within the score
The previous procedure saves time when you have a number of staves to change. If you only want to alter one sta,
there’s a faster way to open and come out of Sta Settings:
1. In the score, click anywhere on this instrument’s sta with the Pointer.
» In an editing marker, a light yellow box displays at the spot where you clicked.
2. Go to the Menu bar and select Tools > Sta Settings, or press the keyboard shortcut of Windows: Shift + Ctrl + T;
Mac: Shift + + T, or right-click and select Tools > Sta Settings from the context menu.
» The Sta Settings dialog box opens.
3. Complete steps 3 through 6 in the previous procedure: when you complete step 6, you are nished.
Delete Staves
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. To delete an existing sta, click the button located to the left of the instrument’s rst measure.
» The change is immediate.
3. If needed, proceed to delete other staves. If you delete the last sta in the le, the score area completely blacks out
(add at least one instrument).
4. Close Score Setup by either:
> Pressing the Esc key, or
> Pressing the keyboard shortcut of [Windows = Ctrl + T; Mac: + T] a second time.
TIP: If you happen to delete the wrong sta, you can either press undo or proceed to close the le without saving.
Show and Hide Empty Staves
If you have instruments that are tacet for sections of a full score, you can
choose to hide them. You have full control over when and where they are
hidden, so you can for example have all the instruments showing on the
rst page of a score, and then custom instruments hidden or shown
throughout the rest of the score as you choose.
1. Select the region you wish to hide empty staves
2. Go to View>Hide Resting Staves
3. To show resting staves for specic instruments (maybe to make full
use of the page, or to highlight that the clarinets are entering over the page
for example), make a selection of the score, then go to View>Show Resting
Staves. Then select which instruments you wish to show withint the
selection.
