Edit line breaks using the shortcut menu
1 Control-click a bar line.
2 Choose a setting from the shortcut menu to add or delete a line break, or return to the default
line break.
When you move a bar with the Layout tool, all manually edited line breaks in subsequent lines
are deleted, and automatic line breaks are recalculated from that line downward. If you want
to avoid having later lines recalculated, hold down Option while moving the bars with the
Layout tool. This limits the line break to the sta systems you are editing; other sta systems
are unchanged.
Line and page breaks
You can set page breaks individually for each score set, and also for each extracted part. Page
breaks are saved with the project. For information, see Add page and line break symbols.
When you add a Page Break symbol from the Part box, all bars following the page break are
moved to the following page. Bars on both preceding and following pages are automatically
adjusted in accordance with the Score project settings (discussed in the Edit line breaks on
page 708 section). All stas in the score are aected.
Edit local margins
You can move the left and right margins of each individual sta system with the Layout tool,
so they don’t align horizontally with the page margins. Local margins are saved as part of the
current score set, allowing dierent settings for each score set.
Move the left or right margin of a sta system
1 In Page view, choose the following settings from the Score Editor’s View > Page Display Options
submenu:
•
Print View
•
Show Margins
2 Click-hold (with the Layout tool) a little inside the beginning or end of the sta, then drag to the
left or right.
During this process, Left or Right Sta Margin appears in the help tag.
Note: When altering margins, the number of bars per line adapts automatically (unless you have
manually adjusted line breaks beforehand). If the line is shortened, bars may be moved down
to the next line, depending on the Spacing parameters in the Global pane of the Score project
settings. (See Global Score settings on page 894.)
Realign an edited margin with the other stas
m Double-click at the end (or beginning) of the margin with the Layout tool.
Delete all line breaks and edited margins in the current score set
m Choose Layout > Reset Line Layout from the Score Editor menu bar.
