Custom score
A custom score layout initially does not contain any players or ows. This allows you to
create your score manually and, for example, to assign only one ow instead of all
ows or only vocal and piano players to create a vocal score. Custom score layouts are
concert pitch by default.
TIP
You can combine players, layouts, and ows together in any combination. For example, you
might add all percussion players to a single part layout so that the performers can manage
instrument changes themselves. In a large-scale work, you might also create a piano reduction
for choir rehearsals, but only assign that piano player to the vocal score, meaning it does not
appear in the orchestral full score at all.
