Entering and editing notes
Strategies: Multiple staves
• If the default piano clef settings for the upper and lower staff are not what you
want, you can adjust these settings now (or you can make key and clef
adjustments directly in the score, see
“Setting clef, key, and time signature” on
page 738).
5. Make whatever additional staff settings you need.
These apply to both the upper and lower staves of the split system.
6. Click Apply.
Changing the split point
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the system you are working on is active.
2. Open the Score Settings and select the Staff page.
3. Select the Polyphonic tab.
4. Change the Split Point value.
5. Click Apply.
Now, some notes that were previously on the lower staff are on the upper, or vice
versa.
Strategies: Multiple staves
As described above, when you have parts on several tracks selected in the Project
window, these are put on one staff each, when you open the Score Editor. This allows
you to work on several staves in parallel.
Working with several staves is not much different from working with one. Below follow
some guidelines that apply specifically to working with multiple staves.
Score settings dialog, Staff page
The settings on the Staff page of the Score Settings dialog are local to each staff. You
can have the Score Settings dialog open and select each staff in turn to make settings
– just remember to click Apply before selecting another staff, otherwise your changes
are lost.
If several staves share settings, you can save some time by using staff presets. Set up
the staff settings for the first staff, and save them as a preset. This preset can then be
applied to any of the other staves, one at a time, see
“Working with staff presets” on
page 772 for details.
Selecting notes
You can select notes from one or several staves at the same time, using any of the
selection methods, see
“Selecting notes” on page 759.
