Clefs & Signatures settings
Clefs & Signatures settings are only available when Additional Score Options is selected in
Advanced preferences.
Clefs settings
•
Clefs pop-up menu: Choose between the following clef display parameters: Every Sta, First
Sta on Every Page, First Sta on Page 1, and Hide All.
•
“Display warnings at line breaks” checkbox: Causes warning clef changes to be displayed at the
end of a sta or sta system (if the actual change is at the beginning of the subsequent sta or
sta system).
•
Smaller Clef Changes pop-up menu: Clef changes (whether caused by a change of sta style, or
by a new clef inserted from the Part box) can be displayed at a smaller size than the clefs at
the beginning of stas, depending on this setting.
Key and Time Signatures settings
•
Key Signatures pop-up menu: Choose between the following key signature display
parameters: Every Sta, First Sta on Every Page, First Sta on Page 1, and Hide All.
•
“Display warnings at line breaks” checkbox: Displays a warning if key signature changes occur
at the end of a sta or sta system (if the actual change is at the beginning of the subsequent
sta or sta system).
•
“Automatic key transposition” checkbox: Enables the automatic transposition of key signatures in
transposing sta styles. It is usually selected. An exception is for the notation of atonal music. If
unselected, all sharps and ats are displayed directly with the notes.
Note: There is a similar option in the Sta Style window (Key parameter), which allows
you to turn o the key signature for individual sta styles, or even for individual stas in
multista styles.
