Layout settings
Score Layout settings are only available when Additional Score Options is selected in
Advanced preferences.
You can use these settings to dene a number of display settings for the whole project, such as
sta line thickness, stem length, and distance between notes and ties, or notes and dots.
Line Thickness settings
•
Line Thickness parameters: This group of parameters determines the line thickness of the
following objects: sta lines, stems, ledger lines, bar lines, repeat and end lines, tuplet brackets,
text boxes (for boxed text styles), crescendi/decrescendi (also aects line objects and arrows),
ties, and slurs.
Note: If you have a high-resolution printer, try to use smaller line thickness settings (2, or
maybe even 1). Smaller sta lines, in particular, look much better. The other parameter settings
are more a matter of personal preference. These changes are only visible at high zoom levels
on the screen. To really judge the results, try some printouts with dierent settings. The Slur
and Tie Thickness parameters are aected by the Scale parameter in score sets, and the Size
parameter in sta styles.
