Staff settings
• To load a preset, select it on the Presets pop-up menu.
Note that this loads the settings in the preset into the dialog – to apply
these to a staff you must click the Apply button as usual. You can also
apply staff presets directly in the score – see below.
• To remove a preset, select it from the pop-up menu and
click the Remove button.
Applying a preset directly in the score
If you right-click on the blue rectangle to the left of a staff,
a context menu will appear, listing all available presets.
Select one to apply it to the staff.
How staff presets are stored
The staff presets are stored as individual files in the Pre-
sets–Staff Presets folder within the Cubase program
folder. The presets are available for selection in any project
you create or edit.
Staff names
These fields allow you to specify a “long” and a “short”
name for the staff. The long name is shown for the very first
system for this staff in the score (at the start of the project),
while the short name is shown for the remaining systems.
• Whether the names should be shown at all is set on the
Score Settings–Layout page (see “Staff names” on page
592).
Here, you can also opt to use the names of the edited MIDI tracks instead.
• If you only want the “long name” to be shown (i.e. if you
don’t want a name shown for each system in the score),
simply delete the short name.
• If the option “Show Long Staff Names on new Pages” is
activated in the “Staff Names” section of the Score Set-
tings–Project page, the long name will be shown at the
beginning of each new page.
• You can also specify two separate subnames by dou-
ble-clicking the staff name and entering them in the upper
and lower text entry fields in the dialog that appears.
Note that this will only be displayed correctly, if you are in Page Mode and
if “Show Track Names to Left of staff” is activated on the Notation Style
subpage (Staff Names category) of the Score Settings–Project page.

Key and clef
The basic key and clef settings are described in detail in
the section “Setting key, clef and time signature” on page
496. There is also a Lower Staff check box which is only
used in conjunction with split (piano) staves and poly-
phonic voicing (see “In a split system” on page 499).
