You can also make entries for tempo notation, composer, and an extra text field. Similarly,
you can choose which layout elements should appear on the page (check boxes for beat
numbers, page numbers, and texts).
Print notes
Activate the print process in the "Score -> Print score" menu or via the "Print" button. The
print dialog window will appear which has been adjusted to your printer or printer drivers.
Depending on the printer, there are various options like the selection of pages you wish to
print and the number of copies. Make sure to set up the same paper format for the printer
as for the page mode, otherwise the printout may be scaled and the page ratio changed.
The following items won't be printed; they are only visible on the monitor:
The lines which highlight the page borders on the monitor
Mouse pointer
The color display of the currently selected notes and playback areas.
Note: When printing a file (e.g. as a PDF file with a special printer driver), note that you
have to activate the option "Save fonts in document" in the printer driver so that the
notation symbols will be displayed correctly in the document.
Score editor – tips
In complex arrangements, we recommend using two separate versions of a song for
sequencing and for note print previews. This way, MIDI events for the note display may be
changed in any way without influencing the playback. You may have to increase or
decrease the length of a note in order to display the correct note value or the correct
pause.
It may also be advantageous to remove trills, grace notes, and other ornaments in order to
be able to print the score in a more simplified form. This manipulations, however, do affect
playback. Compromises are not necessary when working with separate versions for
sequencing and note print preview.
Score music XML export
The score may also be exported as a MusicXML file and then edited further in notation
applications. Finale, Sibelius, Forte, plus many other MusicXML files can import music XML
files. Converters are also available for transforming MusicXMLs into other formats. You can
find out more at www.musicxml.org.
