Chapter 20 View and edit music notation 689
If a sta style consists of more than two stas, the brackets and bar lines can be set to connect
only certain parts of the overall sta style—they can be interrupted in between stas. If you want
to delete any connections, grab the symbol at its end (bottom), and drag it up, until it disappears.
The voices value in the style overview is determined by the number of voices in the sta style.
This can be changed in the Voice parameters section, but not in the style overview.
Edit sta, voice, and assign parameters for a sta style
After you set the number of voices and stas in a sta style, you can edit the Sta and Voice
parameters for the selected sta style in the lower part of the Sta Style window, and edit Assign
parameters for each voice in a sta style. When you change a sta style, all tracks using that sta
style are aected.
You can edit the following Sta, Voice, and Assign parameters in the Sta Style window:
•
For all stas: Choose the clef, show or hide the key signature, set the distance to the next
(higher and lower) stas, set the sta size, set the number of voices in the sta, and set the
display transposition.
•
For polyphonic, multiple sta styles: Edit the conguration of brackets and bar lines that
connect the stas.
•
For each voice: Control the display of rests, stem direction, tie direction, direction of N-tuplet
brackets and numbers, beaming, note color, and note head type.
•
Assign parameters for each voice: Set the MIDI channel assignment and denition of a split
point pitch, for separation of the dierent voices.
Edit Sta parameters for the selected sta style
In the Sta section of the Sta Style window, do any of the following:
m Change the clef: Choose a clef from the Clef pop-up menu. In addition to the standard clefs, there
are some additional options:
•
Drum.0 to Drum.8: Stas with 0 to 8 lines and a neutral percussion clef. The relationship of
MIDI note pitches to the top line of all stas corresponds to the top line in a regular bass clef
(A2). No accidentals are displayed in these drum stas. Drum.0 also omits any ledger lines.
These clefs are often used in mapped drum styles, where the vertical position of a note on the
sta doesn’t correspond to pitch, but is determined by dierent drum map parameters. See
Use drum notation with mapped sta styles on page 697 for more information on mapped
drum styles.
•
no clef.0 to no clef.8: Like the Drum.0 to Drum.8 stas, but without a clef.
•
TAB Guitar and TAB Bass: Twelve dierent options for displaying notes as guitar or bass
tablature. Tablature tuning sets are dened and edited in the Tablature window (Layout >
Guitar Tablature).
m Show or hide the key signatureA: Select the Key checkbox for the sta.
When the Key checkbox is unselected, the sta is displayed without a key signature. Accidentals
are placed directly beside all aected notes. This can be used, for example, for transposed French
horn parts, which are sometimes written without a key signature.
m Change the distance to adjacent stas: Drag the upper and lower space values up or down. The
upper value controls the space above stas, and the lower value controls the space below stas.
For the top and bottom stas in a full score, this controls the page margins.
