The basics
Setting Display Transpose
1. Make the desired staff active, open the Score Settings
dialog and select the Staff page.
2. In the Display Transpose section, select your instru-
ment from the transpose pop-up menu or adjust the value
directly in the Semitones field.
3. Click Apply.
Display Transpose in the Edit Key dialog
If you want to change the Display Transpose setting in the
middle of the score, you can do this by inserting a key
change (see “Inserting and editing clefs, keys, or time sig-
natures” on page 584). In the Edit Key dialog (which is
opened by double-clicking a key symbol) you can find a
Transpose field, in which you can enter a transposition
value in semitones. This is useful if you are for example
writing a saxophone part and want the player to switch
from alto to tenor saxophone.
Ö Note that you enter an absolute Display Transpose
value that is used from this point on. In other words, this
setting is not relative to any Display Transpose settings
you made on the Staff page of the Score Settings dialog.
Disabling Display Transpose
You can also disable Display Transpose by deactivating
the “Display Transpose” button on the Score Editor tool-
bar. This can be useful if you work with transposing instru-
ments and want to show the concert key and not the
scored key.
Printing from the Score Editor
When you have made all necessary changes to the score
display and are satisfied with the result, you can go ahead
and print your score, e. g. to hand out note sheets.
Proceed as follows:
1. On the Scores menu, activate “Page Mode”.
Printing is only possible from within Page Mode.
2. Select Page Setup from the File menu and make sure
all your printer settings are correct. Close the dialog.
3. Select Print from the File menu.
4. A standard print dialog appears. Fill out the options as
desired.
5. Click Print.
Exporting pages as image files
You can export a section of a page or a complete page in
various file formats. This allows you to import your scores
into desktop publishing and drawing applications.
Selecting a section of a page for exporting
If you only want to export a part of a certain page, proceed
as follows:
1. Make sure that you are in Page Mode.
2. Select the Export tool (“Select Export Range”).
The pointer turns into a crosshair.
3. Drag over the section of the score you want to include.
The area is indicated by a black rectangle.
• You can adjust the size of the rectangle by clicking and drag-
ging its handles with the Object Selection tool.
• You can move the rectangle to another position in the score
by clicking and dragging.
To export the selected range, you have two possibilities:
• Double-click inside the rectangle while it is selected.
This opens the Export Scores dialog, where you can make settings for
the file to be created (see below).
• Use the Export Scores function, see below.
