Designing your score: additional techniques
Coloring notes
Showing all objects
If you select “Hide/Show” from the Scores menu again, all hidden objects are
displayed.
• You can also use the Reset Layout function to permanently display hidden notes
and objects, as described in the section
“Reset Layout” on page 881.
Showing a hidden note
While all hidden notes can be made visible by ticking the Hidden Notes checkbox on
the filter bar, you may want to make some of them “permanently” visible again:
1. Activate the Hidden Notes checkbox on the filter bar.
2. Select the notes that you want to “un-hide”.
In the Preferences dialog (Scores–Colors for Additional Meanings) you can set
the color for hidden notes.
3. Double-click one of the notes.
4. Deactivate the Hide Note option in the Set Note Info dialog and click Apply.
Coloring notes
You can use the color pop-up menu on the toolbar to colorize selected notes, e.g. for
educational purposes. This is described in detail in the section
“Coloring notes” on
page 796.
Multiple rests
Multiple consecutive rests can be automatically displayed as multi-rests. Proceed as
follows:
1. Open the Score Settings and select the Layout page.
2. Set the Multi-Rests option to the number of empty bars that are “allowed” before
Cubase displays them as a multi-rest.
For example, a value of 2 means that three or more consecutive empty bars are
displayed as a multi-rest. If you set this to “Off”, multi-rests are not used.
3. Click Apply and close the dialog.
The multi-rests now appear in the score.
A multi-rest over three bars

1. Double-click on the multi-rest symbol.
The Split Multi-Rest dialog appears:
2. In the dialog, enter the bar number where you want the first split.
