Working with layouts
Here you can perform a number of operations:
Opening the tracks in a layout
To select another combination of tracks for editing, select
the corresponding layout in the list.
• You can keep the dialog open while you are editing, and
use this function for selecting which tracks to edit.
Importing layout symbols
By selecting another layout and selecting “Get Form” from
the Functions pop-up menu below the list, you import all
Layout symbols (inserted from the Layout section in the
Symbols Inspector) from the selected layout into the cur-
rent layout.
Managing layouts
• To rename a layout, select it in the list and enter the de-
sired name in the Name field to the right in the dialog.
Initially, a layout gets the name of one of the edited tracks – it may be a
good idea to give each layout a more informative name.
• To remove a layout you no longer need, select it in the
list and select “Remove” in the Functions pop-up menu.
• To remove all layouts for which there no longer are track
combinations, select “Clean Up” from the Functions pop-
up menu.
Importing and exporting layouts
By selecting a layout and selecting “Export…” or “Im-
port…” from the Functions pop-up menu below the list,
you can export or import a Layout. Note that all Staff set-
tings will be taken into account, when exporting or import-
ing a layout.
Working with Display Transpose
You can specify for each staff in a layout whether it should
use Display Transpose. Just click in the D column in the
Score Settings–Layout page to activate or deactivate the
option. Note that this setting affects this layout only.
Using layouts – an example
The following text outlines the basic steps for extracting a
musical part from a full score.
1. Prepare the entire score, including all formatting.
This might include inserting Project layer Block Text for the Score title,
setting the bar line type, etc.
2. Open the Score Settings–Layout page and enter the
desired name in the Name field (for example “Full Score”).
3. Close the Score Editor.
4. Open a single track, for example a woodwind part.
The Project layer settings will automatically appear in the new single
track layout.
5. Prepare a layout for the woodwind part.
You might for example move bar lines, add endings, activate multiple
rests, etc.
• You can also import all layout symbols from the “Full
Score” layout, by opening the Score Settings–Layout
page, selecting the “Full Score” layout in the list to the left
and selecting “Get Form” from the Functions pop-up
menu (see “Importing layout symbols” on page 592).
6. Enter the desired name for the new layout in the Name
field on the Score Settings–Layout page and click “Apply”.
Marker Track to Form
If you have created markers in the Project window which
denote the start of each new “section” in your music
(verse, bridge, chorus, etc.), you can automatically transfer
these markers into the current layout:
1. Pull down the Scores menu and open the Advanced
Layout submenu.
2. Select “Marker Track to Form”.
Now, rehearsal marks and double bar lines are inserted in the score, at
the position of each marker.
3. If you want the names of the markers shown as well,
open the Advanced Layout submenu again and select
“Display Markers”.
!
Be careful not to change any of the properties which
are not part of the layout or you will modify the “Full
Score”, too.
